Given the interaction which occurs between lots of low frequency content and turntable sonic breakthrough; I personally would optimise the turntable prior to introducing any subwoofer.
Subs or Turntable?
I’ve long wanted a VPI turntable, and I’m very drawn to the Prime series.
But the budget keeps being pushed out, and logically I think a pair of subs would make a stronger impact on the sound. Looking at REL t7x, which comes in lower than the TT.
So subs or TT? Logic or heart? What would you do?
