Do you have The Beatles Album Revolver? The Love You To track on side 1 by George Harrison is a good sound test.Try and get the harmony on the end of each stanza right i.e "...you don't get time to hang a sign on meeee" should sound sweet and harmonic and compressed at the same time.The Tablas and Indian instruments should sound full and deep and resonate well also.Your alignment will be pretty close if you get this sounding O.K
Please help, distorted and hissy treble
Guys, I have a denon DL-110 cart, oracle alexandria TT, well tempered arm (which i rewired this weekend with cryoed cardas stuff). And am still not happy with the sound. The treble is very hissy and seems to breakup and distort. Its more aparent on some albums than others, is this a function of crappy albums? Or is there something im overlooking. I am using the parasound PPH-100 phono stage with audioquest quartz cables. I had very simaler experience with my anthem PRE 1 phono stage. If I could get a smooth even response with minimal distortion I would be very happy. Ive played with VTA, it doesnt seem to help much, azumuth is pretty close, as is the cart alignment (i have no protractor). I also used the shure gauge to set stylus pressure.
Let me know if you guys have suggestions!
Thanks so much - Evan
