If you can, play the offending passages through decent headphones at low-moderate volume. If the distortion is in the recording you'll hear it.
paranoid listener, bad recordings
I tend to listen apprehensively for some reason not understanding how durable speakers are at my listening level. So, I hear distortion from time to time coming out of my speakers and freak out thinking i have damaged them. But, I am beginning to think it is on the recordings.
Right now i have a pair of gallo 3.1's in my den that i am wrestling with room position (see other post) because of limited options. I put on some joni mitchell or typically pop recordings, sometimes older jazz, and will hear the distortion. I listen around 75-85db levels.
Am I paranoid, is the distortion in the recordings and should it sound like this on occasion? Is that too loud?
