It sounds incredible! I'm just concerned that I may be doing damage to my speakers.
Why do my bass drivers shake violently listening to vinyl
Hello Gon'ers,
Help needed. I took the grills off my new Vandersteen Treo CT's recently and noticed that when listening to vinyl, the bass drivers shake violently, meaning the amount and frequency in which they travel in and out. Then I played the same pieces of music from Tidal and they were relatively calm.
Is this some kind of feedback loop causing this? Has this happened to anyone else?
Thanks!
Joe

@audionoobie - Some questions:
Phono-pre: subsonic filter on or off ? | Audiogon Discussion Forum It might give you a clue as to what is going on Good Luck |
@williewonka interesting thread before it went off topic. The KAB rumble filter was brought up. Here is an excerpt from their site which accurately describes what I am seeing: Getting into LP's and startled at the big speaker cone movements that you're seeing? Thinking a better turntable will help? It may not! This very low frequency energy is called rumble. Much of it is actually cut into the record groove when the master disc was made. But the main source is feedback exciting the natural stylus/arm resonance between 7 and 12 hz. This produces a slow easily visible in and out motion of your woofers. If you cannot see this motion, the RF-1 will not solve your feedback problem. If you can see this motion, the RF-1 will solve your feedback problem.

Do the woofers move when turntable is switched on with volume, but no record playing? If so, it could be a DC voltage leak going to the speakers. If so, power down and clean up that spaghetti tangle of wires, minimizing crossing of cables and certainly not letting phono cables touch other cables. Cheers, Spencer |
