Loud thud heard through speakers
Thank you @cal3713. No pop with digital source is what got me thinking.

Update. It was bad buffer tube in the phono stage. Replaced the tube and all is well now.

@cal3713 Thank you for the suggestion. I'll try playing same tracks from a digital source today and see if I can induce the pop. If there's no pop then as you said it could be a problem in my analog chain.

Ok, narrowed it down to the Sub. The noise is not coming from the speakers but from the Sub. Not sure why the Sub is popping so loud during loud musical passages even though there's hardly any low frequency information at that moment.

@yeti42  thank you for sharing your experience. How loud was the thud you heard? I was listening to music at moderate level, listening to Muddy Waters Folk Singer. When his vocals got loud is when I heard the thud and both times the noise coincide... 
Low output MC for For Rega RP6
I have used Shelter 501 and Ortofon Quintet Black on mine and both sounded excellent. Of the two I preferred Shelter sound. Ortofon is no slouch but the Tonearm had to be raised at the tail by about 5mm for it to sound right. Ortofon is mated to a...

Ortofon stylus broke ?!
Did you ever use a stylus cleaner to clean? Ortofon warns against using any liquid cleaners or onzow gel. They say the chemicals can dissolve the cement used to bond the stylus to cantilever. I have the same cart by the way and is about 4 yrs old ...

what amp are you using with wilson benesch speakers
WB are neutral (least warmth) speakers. A warm sounding SS or a good tube amp would be my recommendation. The impedance curve is not too demanding for WB speakers (6 Ohm nom. 4 Ohm min) should not be too hard to drive. Of course a lot depends on y...
