Unsolvable Woofer Pumping (Phono only)
@three_easy_payments I see.  I will more likely go the filter route rather than clamp, at least until I get a better system.  If that needs a clamp then no problem.  I do plan on upgrading my system relatively soon, which is why I'm hesitant to sp... 
Buy High Pass Filter or KAB RF1?
@craigert No problem!  In my case I don't think it's a feedback problem, as I recorded (without the speakers on at all) to a digital recorder and played it back and the woofers still pumped.  I feel you on the passive filter...but for $25 I think ... 
Unsolvable Woofer Pumping (Phono only)
@millercarbon Thank you!  I've grown up with both, but my earlier systems weren't as high quality (I started at about 6 years old with some crappy BSR changers).  I can understand that a little bit is normal, but this seems a little excessive to m... 
Unsolvable Woofer Pumping (Phono only)
@three_easy_payments Nope, it is pretty consistent throughout.

@mike_in_nc Thanks, I tried several different records. Do you think a record clamp would help? I've been meaning to get one. 
Buy High Pass Filter or KAB RF1?
@craigert I'm sure it will...I had someone come over today with a preamp that has a subsonic filter built in and the issue went away. I can't speak for the KAB, but I may have to buy one someday as well so I hope you let us know how it works out i... 
Buy High Pass Filter or KAB RF1?
@craigert I am having the exact same problem and dilemma about what to buy as you are! Wow...was about to post myself. I ordered some Harrison Labs "FMODs" (20 Hz high pass)..I plan to put one on one channel to start and see if I can hear a differ... 
Upgrading System...Help/opinions on Parasound and others?
treynolds155 Ah I see! I was unaware.  I hope that the dealer near me will let me take one home to try. :)jaytor I'm glad to hear Parasound is good! I wish the unit I'm interested in wasn't so low profile though, ah well, can't win 'em all! 
Upgrading System...Help/opinions on Parasound and others?
treynolds155  Interesting! The only reason I wasn't really considering the NewClassic integrated mostly because of its small size, I figured it would have thermal problems.  Then again, didn't look at any reviews! I'll consider it now though. 
Upgrading System...Help/opinions on Parasound and others?
Thanks :) I'm going to start auditioning to get an idea of sound...will likely make a follow up thread! 
Upgrading System...Help/opinions on Parasound and others?
I like Parasound.Never heard the classic line. Skip the P5 if you find it used. Go for the P7 or newer.I believe it just came out last year.  I'll probably audition my top 3 when the time comes. :) 
Upgrading System...Help/opinions on Parasound and others?
dsotm073 No problem, but I'm not quite in the market for one yet...have to save my pennies! I also wager you're in the US, shipping to/from Canada is so ridiculous it'd surely undo any savings.cal18 Interesting, thanks :) I'll be sure and audition... 
Upgrading System...Help/opinions on Parasound and others?
I'm in Canada, Audio Advisor will only ship that to a US address, plus it would cost about $500 more compared to the Canadian distributor.  I'll see if they have free returns though :)There may be a store a few hours away from me that *could* orde...

Also sorry about the formatting in my question, it wasn't like that in the text box. 
Upgrading System...Help/opinions on Parasound and others?
Thanks for your input! It really has impressed me overall, and I've yet to audition one.  Unfortunately that's the only one on my list I'd have trouble auditioning unless I went out of province...but somewhere around me may be able to direct order...
