Woofer motion problem.
El, which is exactly why I agreed with you in my post. However don't discount that there is a consequence to every solution and the in-band phase shift of the rumble filter is one consequence as well as adding an extra pair of interconnects and th... 
Woofer motion problem.
For what it's worth, it is as much a part of the speaker design as it is the warp wow from your records. A vented speaker is undamped below its resonant frequency, hence the uncontrolled motion. I agree with El, it is unlikely to harm the speaker,...

Not to be redundant, but you say that you have the impedance set at "47" which is incorrect. It should be 47,000. 
How important are the Speaker Cabinets?
There are various ways to skin this cat. Just as in turntable plinths, one school advocates the addition of mass, in the form of thicker cabinet walls and additional internal bracing, to make the cabinet as rigid as possible. All cabinets resonate...

What do you have the impedance set at? It should be 47,000 ohms (that's 47K ohms). If you have it set less than this, than that is the cause of your problem. If it is set correctly, the problem may be that you are trying to match the gain of your ...

Macdadtexas, your intentional misspelling of my user name is neither cute, nor witty. Actually, upon further reflection, it's both, as well as being hillarious. LOL! 
disco demolition night
The whole scene was redolent of Hitler's book burnings, only most of the Nazi's weren't drunk. Rock and roll had a similar effect on the generation that preceded it as well. There was much talk of banning R&R, the devil's music. But, of course...

Interesting suggestions, but I would like know what you want to achieve in upgrading your source. What areas do you feel are weak? What music do you listen to and how do you feel it lacking? What is your budget? 
I need a turntable, only have $450 to spare...
Can you go used or vintage? Ariston, Logic, Heybrook, Manticore and Fons all made good belt drive turntables that can be had for a song. The various Thorens models are good bets, as well, though it is important to do research as some similarly pri... 
Best Budget Phono Stage for Clearaudio Emotion?
I owned the original X-LP with both the Ault high current power supply and the MF X-PSU high current power supply. It is almost not relevant, as there have been several generations since, which is why I did not mention it before. What I can say is... 
How any "wall pluggers" are out there?
To clarify my response, I was responding to your last statement, not answering the first. Please count me with the plug lickers. 
How any "wall pluggers" are out there?
I would simply call them "uninformed".

Best Budget Phono Stage for Clearaudio Emotion?
I have owned the 640P, the Black Cube (twice actually) and had a long term loan of the P75. My favorite in the price range is the Graham Slee Gram Amp 2SE. An amazing level of detail presented in a smooth and very natural fashion. It is a breakthr... 
Establishing a common analog listening bias
Interesting how many of these suggestions were recorded digitally, the Krause, Eagles, Wasserman, I believe the SRV, as well.
