How funny...I have the EXACT SAME problem with the exact same Alison Krauss MFSL LP. I also have a VPI....its a VPI TNT-V Hot Rod with the HRX Dual Motor and HRX Acrylic platter. I'm using a Clearaudio Accurate cartridge. I have the same inner groove distortion problem. My table was setup by Brooks Berdan here in Southern California.
It is very obvious on some LPs and it's pretty much fine on others...so I don't know anymore. I've contacted Clearaudio to get their recommendations about this. So...I'm chasing the same gremlins myself. Hopefully this thread will help as it develops further. I'll definitely post if things improve on my end.
