shrill high end? help, setup? triplaner


I was playing a few lps sunday on my galibier / triplaner / Universe setup

three sounded very shrill in the high end
no amount of vta would cure this

not sure what is going on, maybe my setup is seriously out of alignment.

any suggestions

the shrill grungy upper end isn't interconnects
the cd player sounds fine
and lps have sounded great on this setup

shrill discs -
Yes - CLose to the Edge Japanese pressing
King Crimson - Starless and Bible Black
John Coltrane - Lush Life
not shrill - Donald Fagen - Morph the Cat
Darold Anger and Barbara Higbie - Tideline

looks like my vta may be a hair high actually 2.1 grams

records sounded worse at grooves farther in
some misstracking
(side to side cartridge azimuth alignment?)

used dry erase on the stylus, all records loricrafted

I have not been able to truly find the vta sweetspoint and may have over adjusted it, so I got out my fiekert and reset the table, granted I haven't had that much experience setting up tt, but mine has sounded stellar before

the playing session was after the setup
