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.

I use a 12" unipivot arm with no anti-skate adjustment, and I have zero audible inner groove distortion.

I am using a vintage NOS Fidelity Research MC with a line contact stylus.
