It’s the Emotiva. I have 20+ versions of DSOTM and the chimes on Time are not distorted, nor are the highs. A friend with the Magnepan 1.6 or 1.7 was using Emotiva amplification and he claimed something similar. He replaced the Emotiva amps with something else and no more tizzieness in the highs. I own the first generation MFSL gold ultra disk and if anything, the sound is dull in the treble and has a lot of tape hiss. Try a different brand amp, that’s the problem.
