Two questions for arrowhead: (1) By what mechanism do you think a phono pre or a pair of ICs can cause rumble (except in the case where the phono stage has very low bass frequency extension, enabling it to transmit rumble frequencies to the downstream components, but that's where the rumble or subsonic filter works)? And (2) why do you focus on the tonearm and not mention the platter bearing as a source of rumble? I do agree it's a nice idea to take the TT to another system and determine whether rumble follows along with it. I had suggested inserting a known good TT into the OP's system, for the same reason.
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
