A friend of mine cuts records for a living. He reckons that rumble is a large factor in why people think vinyl sounds 'fuller'. I think he could have a point. When I was a lad, and amps with sub filters were common, I always thought it sounded weaker when engaged...

Rumble, whether cut, pressed or produced by the reproducing turntable, can add an LF "bloom", particularly in stereo. Spurious, of course, and Doug Self's Devinyliser neatly removes most of this by applying a sophisticated steep cut filter to the difference signal.
