    B&O 3000 (5231) idler gear "rumble"

    I am reviving a B&O 3000 (5231 with the radial tonearm). It is in very good cosmetic condition and the automatic functions all seem to work correctly. But it is noisy - I am hoping someone can help me get it to run more quietly. The idler gear is creating a rumbling noise as it is driven by the...

    I have a Thorens TD 125 mkII with SME 3009 imp. Fitted with Shure m97. When playing at normal levels no problems. But when I crank up the volume, there is a acoustic feed back. I have tested the following: - I shut down the player so it stops spinning. When I place the needle on the record...

    Mind bending rumble trouble

    I have a low frequency, very high amplitude “rumble” (below human hearing) happening in my setup. It pulses a couple of times a second roughly. So far I have changed out every single component in my system and the problem persists. If I play a record long enough it starts to double and triple...

    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...

    Akai AA-R20: Stop that train!

    I fired up an old Akai AA R-20 (1980, 26 wpc), cleaned it out, de-oxed it, replaced two burned-out lamps with comparable warm white LEDs, and it looks and sounds beautiful. Bill Evans' piano (from the 1963 "Solo Sessions" recording) sounds like it's right here in the room. It sounds to me even...

    A properly operating Lenco does not rumble

    With this (loong) post, I seek not so much to elicit responses (though always welcome) but more to convey information which corrects certain misconceptions which lead to the erroneous dispensation of misinformation leading others astray. Rumble in the Jungle??? A properly operating Lenco does...

    Technics SL1300MK2 vs SL-D2

    Hi, I just restored a sl1300 to its former glory as an upgrade from my D2. Funny thing is, it doesn't seam like an upgrade at all. I replaced the D2 with the 1300 in exactly the same setup, even switched headshells. The 1300 starts to rumble at volume above 1/4 the D2 did not ever rumble at any...

    The curious case of TD 135 MK2 woofer flutter

    I'm hoping someone will have some experience with this issue. I very recently overhauled a somewhat tampered with TD 135 and made a modest sized slate plinth for it to nest in. The plinth weighs about 30 lbs and is a slate-plywood-slate sandwich which I have resting on abut 20 lbs of ceramic...

    Turntable with no rumble & no diamonds or golden wires

    Dear friends! Huge hello to all of you from Ukraine. I've been watching topics on this forum for a long time. Now it's time for me to ask the question. I am not an audiophile. However I like straight sound - not "warm", "cold", "too high", "too low" and so on. Simply straight. Like "crystal...
