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.

For those filter advcocates remember that there are some amplifiers/preamps with " problems " in its design that suffer of low bass oscilations that could provoke those woofer movements.

As I said IMHO it's always better to fix the headache, that filter is an aspirin that really is solving nothing but degrading the audio signal.

How are you degrading the audio signal when you're removing frequencies that cannot be reproduced by your speakers?
