I had woofer pumping with my Pro-ject Xpression III. I tried both a Pro-ject phono tube box and a Jasmine LP2 mkII for phono preamps. I got woofer pumping with both preamps (the Pro-ject phono tube box had a subsonic filter, tried it in both postions, the Jasmine does not have a subsonic filter). I uses an Ortofon MC-3 turbo on the Xpression III. Once I upgraded the table to a Rega RP6 with same cartridge, same wall shelf and same Jasmine LP2 mkII, the woofer pumping was gone. I sold the Pro-ject gear and did not look back. Since you are using a Rega P3 with GT upgrades (I assume subplatter and acrylic platter), I'm not sure where to turn on this. I am using the factory RP6 subplatter and glass platter, but I just ordered a GT RP6 reference subplatter. Do you have a Rega dealer local? Can you ask to borrow a RP3 (either the whole deck or maybe the glass platter) to see if it reproduces the woofer pumping? Does anyone know if acrylic platters are prone to reproduce more woofer pumping (I thought they reduced vibrations) as the Xpression III and Matt's P3 both have acrylic platters?
Does anyone use a RUMBLE filter?
I am having way to much cone movements on my main speakers and Sub when I play vinyl. Someone suggested I purchase a rumble filter from KAB audio. I notice that a lot of the cheaper phono preamps have these filters built in. When I purchased a more expensive better sounding unit ..it dosent have one. So I am wondering why dont a lot more companys sell these things if they are so important? I need to buy one and they dont seem to be very expensive $170 + another IC cable.
