If rumble was measured,, Most turntables would be in the local landfill..

Surely the likes of Quality Record Pressings could press a blank lp of high quality for such a purpose.

SORRY john,, Not true,,, Mine was a piece of noisy junk...Its now in a landfill..
AFAIK rumble is not much of a problem with modern tt's. What tt's have you found have excessive rumble?
Yeah, I haven't had a turntable with audible rumble in 50 years.
Hard-to-hear rumble can nevertheless rob amplifier power and cause woofers to flap. Flagrant audibility is not necessary to generate such results.

... I do love the concept of "flagrant audibility." :-)Since I don't remember my woofers ever flapping and I didn't detect any rumble (even years ago when both my ears worked properly), I think I'll have to stand by what I said.
EDIT: My current (since 2007) highly modified Lenco is quiet as a tomb at any speed from 33 1/3 to 78 rpm. Idler-drive turntables are supposedly subject to rumble, but mine sure isn't.

The LP12 has very low rumble, well below the typical level of cutting
lathe turnscrew noise between tracks on an LP.

Land fill..?The LP-12 is still a great table, especially with modern updates, Sound, well enuff for me to pass on most of the New Super stuff within reason. I'm sure it will give what ever it was replaced by a good run..
LP-12 try one you will like it ..
