Find a good copy of one of these test records: (http://www.ebay.com/itm/LP-SHURE-PHONO-CARTRIDGE-TRACKABILITY-TEST-RECORD-NEW-/350505083217?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item519bbb2151) (http://www.audiophileusa.com/item.cfm?record=81920&c=1&kw=Accessory) (http://www.elusivedisc.com/prodinfo.asp?number=CLELP43039) I own the first two I listed, and a couple others that are no longer available. They are very useful tools. I'll bet you find that your stylus is mistracking, at the higher groove modulation levels. When Sheffield Labs came out with their 'Growing Up in Hollywood Town' direct to disc; some complained of mistracking, when Amanda McBroom hit some of the same notes as the violins, on the cut, 'Amanda'. Mine never did, but- I heard the distortion on a couple other systems. It was ugly!
Dead Can Dance New LP "into the labrynth"
Does anyone have this new music fidelity pressing? Awesome to say the least, however on Track 3 on side one, "the wind that shakes the barley" I notice only on certain dynamic volume increases the recording sounds as though it was a little "hot" in the vocals? In other words I hear a ever so slight distortion for a split second no matter what volume level I listen to this track at. Could I have a bad pressing or do you think it's simply so resolving, it's coming through via the remaster? Any help or input would be greatly appreciated.
