Anyone wish they had a rumble subsonic filter?

Hello again, I think the Marchand Bassis is a great unit. Mine is set up after the Marchand XM126 crossover so only the low freq go through it. It has a 20hz filter and a rumble filter of which I find both to be necessary. Also the Bassis eq is very subtle and I believe would be a wonderful addition to your system. It only extends the bass response where your system starts to fall off and you can correct the Q and the bass extension. It works with ported and non ported speakers but is most effective with non-ported. As far as additional equipment and interconnects remember as Einstin said to make things "simple but not too simple". Well here is your solution for several problems, of which, for the most part you are unaware of untill you hear it. You do have rumble and subsonic problems, and they do need to be eliminated. Musical reproduction is like the universe, you always know there is something more out there....

PS thanks for the compliment on my system. I consider my system minimalist as it only has what is necessary for reproduction of vinyl music. That includes the Bassis which, if you understand it, is a great piece of equipment and is quite reasonably priced. I recommend that you buy it with the stepped attenuators rather than the pots if you do indeed buy one.

OK, guys, and thank you! I now believe I need to solve this rather than ignore it. Going to re-read this thread, visit the websites again, and make couple of phone calls. The one thing my gut tells me not to do, is attenuate above the 20Hz. I just listened to an orchestra recording. In the jacket is a picture. There are no less than five string basses on the far right. There is substancial bass in the far right of the soundstage when I play this LP, and my right amp meter bears this out by showing how hard that channel is working. So I guess I don't believe bass is non-directional. It also sounds like bass will improve overall, by solving the problem and my amp will perform better. Everyone who posted seems to agree on that. That's some really good incentive. Off to the websites......again! And thanks, again.

Hi Newbee. You might be reading my mind. I have been revisiting compliance this morning, looking for errors and ideas. Here's the poop. Scoutmaster, JMW-9 (7.7gm effective mass), ZYX FUJI with silver base for added mass(5gm cartridge + 4gm silver base + .5gm screws) Cartridge compliance of 15 horizontal and 12 vertical gives me resonance at 10 or 11Hz. My thought is to try a bit more mass at the cartridge. I'm also going to pay a lot more attention to the woofer movement on various LPs. I see 3 ways to improvement. Compliance, add high-pass filter to the woofer crossover, or electronic filter. If the high-pass filter at 18Hz didn't require a 700mH inductor, it would be a very good solution, IMO. It seems like everything I do is a collossal struggle, but I intend to win.

240zracer...Did you price that 700mH inductor as an air core unit? And you need two. That ought to make your decision easy!
