From what you have written it sounds like you have not tried the brush. Yes, some people have reported that the sound is better with the brush up in an optimum situation, but since you are NOT in an optimum situation, and since it will cost you NOTHING but time to try it, WHY NOT? You may find that the removal of subsonic problems from your system may IMPROVE the sound and solve the problem, in which case, keep using it and stop worrying about what other people have said - this is YOUR SYTEM, NOT THEIRS! Seems to me you have objections to every possible solution - you don't want a subsonic filter, you don't want to spend money for another tonearm or cartridge, you don't want to try the brush. The brush, at least, is ALREADY THERE FREE OF CHARGE. On the other hand, if it sounds worse, you may have to actually spend money to solve the problem and you may not be any happier at the end (worst possible case).

Shure actually designed the brush to damp the subsonic resonance inherent in ALL arm-cartridge systems, and also to make cartridge more compatible with a wide variety of arms, so in that sense it is NOT a stop-gap.
