Best case scenario is that you will solve your problem before adding a subsonic filter, I personally haven't needed them in my systems since moving up from an AR EB101 to a VPI Scoutmaster then a Prime. If you decide that you need the filter search for the Nakamichi SF-10 or SF18 which are 10Hz and 18Hz filters with a 6 db roll off they were my go to filters when needed and they do fix the problem. I sold mine with the AR or I would give you mine. Good luck
Bass distortion-Playing LP's only,,,,please help
VPI Prime----Ortofon Black Quintet (low output moving coil cart)-----Plinius Koru Phono Pre( loading at 20 ohms/gain at 66 db)-----Parasound Halo Integrated -----Martin Logan Montis speakers which have powered bass cabinets.
Using any other source component I have absolutely no issues. When I play an LP and increase the volume past 10 O'clock which is a little loud....but not ridiculously loud-I at times get this huge wave of bass distortion. I do have bass controls on the Montis's...and I have turned them down into the negative, but I still get what I previously described occasionally.
Any and all help would be appreciated. This doesn't always happen, but its frequent enough to drive me crazy.
Thanks in advance.
