I knew a guy that built his own house in the Country, and he built the basement as a tuned subwoofer, with his home theater built over it, with magnaplanars in a 7.1 setup, using Macintosh poweramps to run everything.

Not quite, as with a horn tuning frequency of 17hz, he has almost nothing at 12hz, so his sub is completely incapable of reproducing the 7hz dinosaur stomps in Jurrasic Lunch, or the 3 and 4hz information in the Earthquake movie, or the extensive list of the low frequencies that are in the major movies found on the AVS Forum. if you can't produce 3hz in your room, then you have failed.

Hanging it from the ceiling by 60 pound test fishing line works. You can use a nice butcher block piece to set the turntable on. Make sure your dust cover is removed as they usually are a big source of rumble. What turntable do you have? and cartridge?I'm frustrated; I've been recording albums today, and if I listen while I record, I can see feedback in the recording.
I need to rebuild the setup I made in one of my first apartments, that hung the turntable from the ceiling, with a series of rubberbands and raquetballs. I have some tungsten bars now, I can skip the concrete this time.
Any suggestions? There has to be a better solution by now. Of course, a lot fewer people have turntables.

You might not even want to play it at all, as I doubt it is up your alley as far as music goes
Crowbar: "I have failed" (early in the sludge metal scene but don't take much credit).
Not quite,
That's exactly what I expected his voice to sound like after seeing his picture. But at age 65, I've never heard anything that bad so far in this life. I couldn't detect a melody. But it also didn't have any bass below 35 hz or so.
I have my Periodic Audio earbuds in tonight.THAT's the beauty of art vs. audio that I believe should exist. We both agree that great reproduction is ideal (audio) but we can both agree to disagree about the merit of the art or the meaning.
Either way, I think we both agree you shouldn't have played it on your system!!!!

I wish I still had my Pioneer headphones I had in hs; I fed them 30 watts out of my Pioneer receiver, and they lasted for years. They did not live thru metallica, however.
I was watching a rocket video that kicked off a flashback. When I was in college in '77-'78, I worked at a high-end audio store (don't dare call it a "stereo"). We had some of the best equipment in the world for sale. One of the ways they would demo the gear was by playing records. One of the best I heard (and what kicked off the way-back machine tonight) was an album by Thelma Houston, on the Sheffield Labs label. The Sheffield Labs stuff was mastered directly to disc, no mix-down, cutting, or dubbing on tape (this was YEARS before digital!). Even listening to it with (crappy!) headphones via YouTube, it still sounds pretty good.
Just for fun, given that Tim, Marty & Grog6 are talking/posting pics of insane subs, an honest question is: Given 2018 technology (before the world turned off axis) is a sealed servo sub logical for a person in a 'normal' home where the rooms are wrong, the floors are wrong, the neighbors are too close etc.?
I cop to the fact that I bought into the 'small subs are fast' and the 'sealed subs are tight' mentality in my 20's
My current plan is to finish the Pearls, figure out if I like the PassDIY or JLH/DIY amps better (and/or keep both) and enjoy some vinyl when able. Having said that, I think a bit of sub will matter and if it is too much sub, it will be confiscated!
I like to tinker and the concept of a servo sub seems smart,
built and tried most of all of the different alignments -sealed, ported, transmission line, horn, aperiodic, isobaric, open baffle, compression line loading. building a small sealed box in a .707 alignment, usually gives you the best sound quality available.Ported boxes make boomy subs; they extend the low bass, and really sound crappy to me.
