So Weird- No Stylus Contact Woofer Pumping with Hana ML and Elac PPA-2


I observed the weirdest thing I have ever seen in audio. With the cartridge positioned above the record, tone arm locked up and platter spinning, the woofers were pumping on my system. I googled every permutation of query I could think of but came back with no hits. That’s when I decided to video the problem- link below:

I could type out all the details but the video pretty much covers everything. I thought ya’ll might be interested in this.

Looks like something I saw recently. The guy was using a balanced cable from his table to the phono amp. Changing it to RCA fixed the issue.

If you can’t get it sorted out, I have a KAB rumble filter that would do the trick.  I am not using it any longer and I could give a good price on it. Food for thought.
