Last 3rd of LP has High Feq. Distortion


What would be your first response to a TT that has voice on the ending tracks as "slurring sound" in "S" words?
Or on harmonies like CSN sounding distorted or muddled together on the higher fequency harmonies? Adjustment or electronics?

If the problem is consistent with many records, then it's likely a setup problem.

My first question is - What is your TT/arm/cartridge?
Second question: Are you using an anti-skate adjustment?
Third: Does the problem occur if you disable anti-skate?

The reason I am honing in on anti-skate is because it varies across the record. The skating force is highest on the outer part of the record, lowest on the inner part. If you have a LOT of A/S being applied, it may be over-compensating too much on the last few tracks.

Cheers.
