The Hi-Fi room has a suspended wooden floor over a cellar so I’m guessing the cartridge was picking up bass from the speakers and amplifying it, the bass wasn’t overwhelming where I was listening from however.
In short my partner and I thought the reproduction of sound was fantastic but I’m concerned about damaging my speakers. This weekend I will reintroduce the Devialet phonostage and see if this situation recurs. My new room will have a solid floor so should negate this feedback issue.
Quick update, reduced bass to -5.0db and this has helped.
You can turn the sub sonic filter on to combat that. Bass adjustment works around the 200Hz region, the subsonic filter works around the frequencies that cause the rumble.
