Buy High Pass Filter or KAB RF1?


Is a $25 high pass filter as effective for rumble as the $180 KAB RF1?

I would rather spend the lesser amount. Thanks!

Good call, had forgotten about those.  It's cheap enough, I would give it a try.
So I called the company and the guy said the $22 passive version is pretty much just a high pass filter and would technically make an audible difference. He said they have an active product around the same price as the KAB now where you can’t hear the difference when using it. 
I just ordered the KAB. I can’t take this anymore. lol 

Rega thinks it’s a cartridge mismatch but my cartridge only weighs 2 grams more than the one that comes with it and the compliance is spot on I think. 
I think the needle is picking up feedback from the speakers.

being new to this stuff I found that people have an argument that doesn’t make sense. They ask why a filter is necessary and act like it’s a band aid. Yet, these same people will tell you that even rumble that you can’t hear is bad for your system. So that means their systems may be rumbling and they don’t even know it. Why not have this in the system to protect it if nothing else. I haven’t heard one person say it degrades sound.
