| How good can it get, really? - my stereo sounds amazing! LOL - yeah that’s sorta how I feel about power cables, ceramic elevation discs, etc. I don’t do any of that and have entry level Kimber speaker cables and interconnects. Funny. | |
| How good can it get, really? - my stereo sounds amazing! Four subwoofers is definitely not an option for me. I have one currently, which I’ve hidden from sight. I actually don’t like what “gear” or stereo equipment. I love minimal, clean layout and interfaces. I love analog. | |
| How good can it get, really? - my stereo sounds amazing! You guys, I am absolutely enjoying my stereo - as stated above, I love it! I’ve been living with it as-is for about a year now and still love it. I listen to it every day. I recognize that just going to floor standing from stand mounts would chang... | |
| How good can it get, really? - my stereo sounds amazing! Thanks for the responses. I like the idea of upgrading my power cables but not sure where to start. I definitely don’t want to spend a fortune in cables but am willing to pony up some.Here’s where I’m currently at: Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II - t... | |

| Subwoofer rumble issue Hey George - tubes seem to be ok. I’m running the Phonomena II through the aux so I’m assuming the preamp tube(s) in the amp aren’t being utilized, right? | |
| Subwoofer rumble issue Ok I’ll try that test and report back. Thx | |
| Subwoofer rumble issue Well I’m not going to CD | |
| Subwoofer rumble issue LOL you guys are funny. There’s gotta be a solution that doesn’t involve moving my tt to another room. Would a different tone arm help? One that doesn’t use magnetic stabilizing? Ugh this is no fun. So strange that it developed over time too. I’ve... | |
| Subwoofer rumble issue George - so I removed the filter and the rumble returned ☹️ even with the homemade iso platform. So even if I’m missing out on super low frequencies, it’s better than the earthquake situation. I’m planning on upgrading my phono pre so we’ll see if... | |
| Subwoofer rumble issue Yeah I hear ya. I also built an isolation platform out of two butcher blocks. I sandwiched it with gel furniture pad discs. I wonder if that is contributing to the solution more then the rumble filter. I’ll remove the filter when I get home and gi... | |
| Potential RF feedback? How do I get rid of it? Cool. I'll give it a shot. Thanks! | |
| Subwoofer rumble issue Hey thanks! | |
| Subwoofer rumble issue Subsonic rumble filter! All better! I understand it’s a “bandaid” approach but it totally worked and my stereo sounds amazing again! YES!!! Thanks again everyone! |
