Interesting you should mention this. Since I now have better equipment and a sub, I have noticed a handful of recordings where there is a deep rumbling present at times. At first I thought there was something wrong and then realized it was in the recording, itself--as if there was a subway going by under the recording venue. I've also noticed--which I find a bit annoying at times---that I can also sometimes hear the footfalls of the conductor on the podium--if he's one of the more active types. It certainly adds to the realism of the recording! -- rgro Rg System information ------------------------ Main: PS Audio Quintet > Vortexbox > Teddy Pardo PS, Touch (wired) > Toslink > Rega DAC > LFD LE IV Signature amp > VA Mozart Grands > REL Acoustics R305.
