INNER GROOVE DISTORTION

Seasons greetings! I have a VPI Prime Sig. with a Soundsmith " The Voice " cart. and am having an issue with inner groove distortion. I don't use anti-skating, just twisting the cable going to the junction box. I will be upgrading the arm to a Fatboy soon and when the tech comes to set it up we will address the issue. On some records I can't listen to the last song! Frustrating, any feedback will be appreciated. Also, have Pass XP-25, ARC Ref 3 and 75 with ML ESL11A's. Thanks.

Wow! So many responses, much obliged friends. I am not going with the fatboy because of my problem! I did watch Peter Lederman and experimented with adding some anti-skating with some good results. When the tech from Overture Audio { who have been great } comes to swap out arms I won't let him leave until I am completely satisfied. I have too large an investment in this not to have great sound from the entire record. It's better but not like it should be. Really grateful to have access to so much knowledge Agoners.

I'm intrigued by the idea that the gimbaled fatboy is preferable to the uni-pivot. I await any experience/input. I listen mostly to classical and jazz but rock also. { Chick Corea says you can't label jazz as such anymore, but you know what I mean} As always, I appreciate the wisdom. Joe
