Decisions decisions... woofer pumping, cartridges, tonearms...

Posted by Apokalypse (A) on May 16, 2007 at 19:52:35

I have an LP12 with an Akito1, this has a shure V15VxMR.

I've never had any problems with this set up and quite enjoy the sound... until now. I've hooked up a sub and due to the high compliance of the cart and relatively high effective mass of the arm I'm getting woofer pumping on the sub.

I figure I can either:
-Change tonearm: Any suggestions on a low effective mass tonearm? I have a SME 3009 however it's happy on another turntable and I've heard the SME and the LP12 don't get along so well.
-Change cart: Is there anything as dynamic with the bass slam of the V15 out there?
-Ditch the sub: no (hehe)
-Low freq filter: no thanks

Any input would be greatly appreciated. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to end up doing with this.
