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.
Anyone wish they had a rumble subsonic filter?
I sort of do. I see my woofers moving due to ultra low frequency signal when I play certain LPs. Doesn't affect the sound, but I don't like it. Anyone have a solution for rumble, since modern preamps no longer seem to have subsonic filters? Scoutmaster on a Gingko Cloud 10 on a solid rack on a cement floor, is what I have.
