Is LP distortion the record or the cartridge?

Or maybe something else? On dynamic peaks, even at fairly low volume, the sound breaks up and produces distortion.
The first thought is that the cartridge is not properly tracking. Am using a Miyajima Shalabi, Tri-planar arm and Woodsong Garrard 301. Fairly new to serious analog and TTs, I hear the phrase “compliance” but not really sure what that is all about. I do know that the arm and the cartridge need to be compatible.

it can be challenging to set expensive carts. everything have to be spot on.  the more hi end the more demanding on setup. 

i suggest looking at setup video exhibition by Michael fremer. it helped us Alot.!  his article on compliance is on analog planet as well. 

supplementary reading whatever Peter of soundsmith explains. 

they cover everything need to know.
