Why don't all phono preamps include a rumble filter?
@wlutke its been maybe a year since I have lubricated the main bearing, but when I did, I didn't notice any change.  However, thank you for reminding me that it's time to do that again.Also, isn't acoustic feedback the same as rumble.  If not, wha... 
Why don't all phono preamps include a rumble filter?
U@stereo5 interesting, that you've owned 3 different VPI tt's, and you had the same problem with rumble, until you inserted a different TT.  Hummm?  Makes me think.@tooblue i have a 3" maple platform, mounted on top of multiple 2" square rubber/co... 
Why don't all phono preamps include a rumble filter?
Thank s for these quick responses to my question.  First:  @clearthink my analog system is a VPI Classic 3 TT, using either a Lyra Kleos Cartridge 0.5 mV, or a Spectral Reference Cartridge 0.2 mV. Using High Fidelity Reveal interconnects, into a A... 
Phono cable recommendations
Jbrrp1.  Hopefully I will have the same outcome as you did.  I don't know if going from a regular pair of standard IC's, to a pair of dedicated 'phono' IC's, will either help, or eliminate this small level of noise, but I'm sure going to give it a... 
Phono cable recommendations
Thanks to all for your suggestions. mdelrossi...I will definitely check out the Audio Sensibility cables, thank you. 
Corelli - really????
@worldwidewholesales.....what "quality passive strip" are you using?  I also use a high end power conditioner with the Corelli, but it would be interesting to try substituting a passive power strip to hear what the results are.  In advance, thanks! 
Corelli - really????
@sbayne regarding your question about using multiple Akiko Triple Enhancers getting you the same benefits as using a Corelli, the answer is absolutely no.  The Triple Enhancer only addresses noise on the ground plane, where the Corelli addresses n... 
Corelli - really????
First, let me say I have no relationship with Akiko, or any audio dealer who sells them.  This merely is JMHO response to Anderock's question above.A close audio friend of mine brought his Corelli to my house last night.  My system already sounds ...

Hum from Subwoofers
Rkilowatt,  I am using a REL Speakon cable from 'Signal Cable'.  I don't understand what you mean by "float the black wire on the REL Speakon connection at the amps".  My cable only has two cables at the amp end.  A Red and a Black, terminated via... 
Hum from Subwoofers
Rkilowatt- on both the subs I am using the Hi level speakon inputs.  The amps I am using are Clayton M-100's (Class A, 100 watt mono blocks).  The pre-amp is an Audible Illusions L3.  The speakers are Legacy Audio Focus SE's.The hum is proportiona... 
Hum from Subwoofers
Thanks for the responses Eric.  1.  The speakers are full range (Legacy Focus SE's), and yes the hum is proportional to the volume.  So are you saying the hum is coming from the sources?  I get hum from both my to TT & my CDP. 2.  No TV in the... 
Legacy Audio Focus SE to XD upgrade
Thanks mr_m.  I've spoiled already spoke with Bill, and he was very helpful.  However, I'd like to hear from someone who has actually made the upgrade to get their thoughts. 
Another soundstage question
What really helped my soundstage (depth, width, height) was when I began including devices made by Audio Magic (ie, PEA's, Blue Dot Disruptor, Pulse Gen ZX, Cable Clarifiers).  All of these devices are made to address noice (RFI, RMI) riding in yo... 
Thinking of replacing my Bat spaceheater with class D, real world thoughts please
Reasonably priced, I purchased a NewClear NC1000L, class D amplifier.  I've used many different amps in the past..  What I get with my 4ohm Legacy Focus SE speakers, driven by the NC1000L, class D, is very good.  Clean, detailed, with a very good ...
