Static on highs


I am still learning the ropes, so please bare with me. My current (entry)set-up is a project debut with a tube box and a jolida 202a. While listening to my Brubek I've noticed a static on some highs, especially the piano - they seem like they are slightly going through a distortion pedal. I looked at the record and it seems like new. Is there something I am missing?

thanks in advance!

When you say "my Brubeck", do you mean that the problem is confined to a single LP? Unless the problem is constant throughout your collection (within similar frequencies and tones) you just have a bad record-and eyeballing it only shows the most obvious, and grossly apparent, damage.

Saying that, hearing distortion on an lp is always a good time for a system-wide tune-up, (including cart alignment and settings), and some thought to the number of plays on your current stylus- especially if you haven't done it for awhile.
