Sorry I should have said it was happening on multiple records - all at the point where things go quiet (like the start of Five Years by Bowie, or the start of To All The Girls by the Beastie Boys).

I was thinking similarly. I tried a thick yoga mat but it didn’t make a difference. But that’ll the spikes worked!

The spikes at the bottom of the floorstanders screw in and out to increase or decrease their length. I screwed them out as far as they would go. They were extended enough before to stop the speaker moving on the carpet, but extending them right out must be also lifting the flat bottom of the...

Hey everyone. Thanks so much for all the replies - much appreciated. I tried a few different diy remedies but nothing worked. Got some cheap-ish absorbers from Amazon to sit under the deck but if anything they somehow made the issue worse. But I’ve just managed to fix the issue. And the way I...

Ok this is definitely what it is. I put on a record with a quiet intro. It was fine until -20 then started the cone shuddering again. I tried with the top off or shut and made no difference. Then I actually just (very carefully) picked up the turntable whilst playing and it stopped immediately...

I’ll give this a bash if the low frequency feedback solution below doesn’t pan out. 👍🏻

This is brilliant, thanks. I’m going to give it a go and report back.

Brand new records 🙂

I’ve looked up what this is (I’m a noob!) and it definitely sounds like this could be it. Weird thing is that I haven’t moved anything an inch since March. Maybe it was there and I didn’t notice it, maybe it’s just on the brand new Bowie album I got the intro song (Five Years) is really quiet...

Hi everyone. I bought a setup (Rega PS3 RS turntable, Cyrus i9-XR amp, Focal Vestia No 2 floor standing speakers) last March with some excellent advice from this forum and have been really happy with it. However recently I’ve noticed this odd kind of “whump whump whump” bassy noise - a bit...

Thanks everyone! I’ll keep it on standby.

Got a new amp (Cyrus i9-XR) and turntable (Rega P3) recently. I’ve been keeping them on a smart plug, only telling Alexa to power them up when I want to use them (pretty much daily). So when not in use they’re hardly ever on standby - they’re completely unpowered. However recently I was...

Ah sweet man. It’s an awesome album. Johnny Marr is a genius. I’ve got loads of older stuff but I gave them to my boy. I don’t really treat them very well back in the day!

I think it’s mainly buying my favourites, including ones I used to have. Radiohead sounds really good, as does the likes of The Stone Roses, Bluetones, Oasis. One that surprised me was how great Wild Wood by Paul Weller sounds. I also have Nevermind on a lot, and Astral Weeks - the strings on...

Brilliant. Using it everyday. Sonos is hardly on now! The one major problem is I keep buying vinyl haha.
