Too much bass from my Octave V70SE
Thanks guys. Great article ditusa. Makes sense.  I guess ultimately I have a vibration issue which leads to feedback at higher volume levels.  So its probably negatively affecting SQ overall even if its not completely obvious at lower volumes.  S... 
Too much bass from my Octave V70SE
I think it the amp itself.  Tapped on tubes was volume up and no music and they were all silent.  Stomped foot lightly by amp and got feedback.  Took iso platter from under TT and tested.  Much better. So more isolation needed.  Also took spikes o... 
Too much bass/feed back from Octave v70se
Thanks 996.  No taps on the Octave. Yes, I could try plugging the ports  
Too much bass from my Octave V70SE
Thanks lewm.  Great idea.  I've had my Rega anthem combo cranked to concert levels and never experienced the issue.  That leads me to think that it may not be the plinth.....unless the Octave is just that much more sensitive.  If it is tube microp... 
Too much bass from my Octave V70SE
Viridian,  thanks for your knowledge  We did run ARC on the speakers.  There are a couple pretty nasty spikes at low frequencies that were adjusted.  I need to look into seeing if I'm able to adjust further.  Thanks for the advice.  I will try it...

Too much bass from my Octave V70SE
Viridian,  why do you think that the feedback only happens when running directly to the Octave and not the avr?  Could the Octave be susceptible to the vibrations and further amplifying the problem frequencies?  
Too much bass from my Octave V70SE
Sofia, much thought and consult with GIK and more thought and measurements with my ARC were taken.   One dose the best with the conditions and resources that one has.  Im sure tweaking will be done, but in my post I did state that I'm listening pr... 
Pathos TT need advice
You guys are the best!!  Thanks.   I thought it was a little ridiculous that they weren't willing to at least hook it up.  I may have taken it home with me.  They deal Borresen speakers that on paper should be harder to drive than mine.  So my th...

Seeking advice on skyline diffuser size and placement
Thanks for the advice all.  I'm using a BBC patern for the skyline. It's a big time commitment. I am reaching back out TO GIK too.  I know that there is alot of experience and knowledge on this site so that's why I ask here also
