    Kenwood KR 6050 causing my turntable rumble issues?

    Hi all. I normally run a Kenwood KR 6050 with an Elac 10H turntable. Previously I was running a Pioneer PL115D with the Kenny. I've always battled with feedback and rumble issues, and tried a number of various isolation methods, all to no avail. I had chalked this problem up to my rental house...

    MDF Sandwich - CDL recipes for suspended TT shelf isolation?

    Hi, I am a happy owner of Empire 598. Last week I also became happy owner of Rythmik F-12GSE sub. That thing is fantastic and has real infrasonic capability! Which, unfortunately, leads to feedback issues on lower volumes than I used to have with Paradigm sub (where I could cut low end with...

    Hi, I'm struggling with turntable choice. I have a big, 2.5 or 3 meters long ikea rack. Floorstanding, on wheels. Heavy. Old so I don't remember the name. Hope you can imagine.
