Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

3 things:

1. Large bass-reflex speakers tend to move quite a bit at subsonic frequencies (where they are essentially in free-air). There is always some subsonic noise generated when playing LP's and it's just a natural by-product of pressing vinyl and the compensation curve of the phono preamplifier.

2. You could be experiencing a cartridge/arm mismatch which may resonate at frequencies present in the recordings you're playing.

3. You could have a feedback problem, where bass vibration is picked up by the table and amplified again.

If the frequency appears to be very low and inaudible (woofer cones seem to wander randomly during play) then I'd advise adding a subsonic filter.
