Ok I bought a turntable so I can play my pearl jam club singles and now for the new ten box set lp's. anyways when ever I play a record for some reason if i walk around the room you can hear the rumble of my footsteps through the speakers, also if I crank the player loud the speakers kinda have a howl and a rumble flutter kinda of thing going on, for the most part it sounds really good until I crank it and walk around the room, its like I have to try and walk softer so my footsteps won't pick up. Any suggestions as to why or how to fix this problem?

    And if this isn't enough, there are inflatable cushions for these cases. I stumbled across one of those in a store once. Not shure how much they are though.

    Thanks for your info, I took my turntable away from my stereo, moved it across the living room and put it into a shelf on my bookcase, I ran RCA extenders to reach my stereo at the other end of the room, seems to make a much better improvement, I am wondering if it was just to close to my speakers to begin with and maybe the magnets were causing a bit of interferance or something. Anyways its a bigger improvement, but thanks for your help.

    My turntable has a cover and when u close it hard you can hear the rumble through the speakers.
    Apart from that, no problems.
