Merlin VSM/MMe with Berning ZH-270

I have just acquired a ZH-270 to use with my Merlins, I have the following setup Mark Levinson no37/360s, Berning ZH-270, Merlin VSM/MMe with the SBAM connected between DAC and Amp as there is no tape loop. My Problem is that on most CDs I get a distorted sound, especially at Norm or Med feedback settings?.
Thanks in advance

I have a horrible feeling it is the SBAM, going to try tonight, I'm interested in trying it with a pre-amp, but those mentioned are not available in the UK, I was wondering about C-J ET3 SE?.

Yes, it was the bam on battery only and not fully charged.
I intend to try a pre-amp as I want to make the most of the Berning / Merlins and a tape loop would be nice as I have CDP and Turntable sources and only a single input BAM.
Planning an extended listening session this weekend

Thanks for the replies, looks like I'll have to get a Joule Electra LA-150 SE or similar shipped over to the UK. Tube rolling has come up as well, so I'll be looking into this as well.
