One issue with LP records is the need for the RIAA equalization curve. Due to the technical requirements of vinyl record recording, for playback, the RIAA curve boosts bass +20 dB and cuts high treble -20 dB to compensate for the polar opposite frequency adjustments made when the master was cut. This means that rumble and any imperfections in the record will be magnified.
Over at the Propeller Head Plaza section at Audio Asylum (where geeky stuff is often discussed) a fellow posted some screen shots of spectrum analysis he did on various phono cartridges. On one set of images, the 20 Hz background noise was about -70 to -80 dB, but when you dropped down to 10 Hz, the background noise increased to -39 to -48 dB. Therefore, if you are running a subwoofer with a turntable and have a phone preamp & amp system that is linear in the sub-bass, it is very easy to end up with playback problems.
