I've done some further testing with two other systems and determined that the issue is not the phono preamp. The turntable is picking up some kind of vibration/resonance and that is causing the rumble. Has anyone experienced this and have any suggestions as to how I might eliminate 80/90% of this? The tt itself is suspended inside a walnut box. The box sits on some legs with felt at the bottom. Is it a more mass thing ( this is based on the fact that higher end tt weigh 40+ pounds? Is it a vibration isolation thing? Any advise would be great?
Can a new Cambridge 540p be so loud?
I just got my restored Dual 1219 with new old stock shure v15 type 2 up and running. I am running it through the cambridge 540p and can't believe the rumble. Ground for the Dual is fine and I checked with another turntable (which is 3 times louder). Is it possible that the Cambridge is this loud?
