Mapman, you may want to try less anti-skate tahn what is the norm. i do it by ear and have made pretty big improvements in the sound. my tracking force is 2.1 grams and I've found it to sound the best at .9 grams anti scrape.
Help with uninspiring sound with my turntable.
Can anyone give me some suggestions what to do to improve my vinyl sound - I purchased a Wilson Benesch TT with their .05 arm and a Sumiko Celebration cartridge here on Audiogon. I have a Mac c500t pre-amp that is still breaking in . The sound quality is lac-luster, and particularly annoying is the vocals can sound "crunchy" and extremely edgy. I don't know how many hours the cartridge has on it. I have tried different loading impedance's - but something is so off I would really appreciate any ideas. I listen to Jazz and Rock albums mostly. Thanks for your input!
