what is this noise caused from possibly


New to phono. have project 2xperience and tube box se2. cj preamp and amp and b&w speakers. Now, some records play just fine and sound great to me, (not ever really listening to vinyl). All my records are new 180g and 200g. I have a new vpi record cleaning machine and last stylus cleaner and preserve or something. On some notes I get a screathing sound if that is the way to describe it. most noticable whan not much music is going on and for example norah jones, sings softly (good) when she reaches down and lets out a bigger note (screathy) mostly right at the beginning of the note. With lots of piano and soft voice all is good i think. by the way this happens in one speaker and not the other. Tryed adjusting tracking force from min to max. antiskate is properly installed. tone arm seems to be parrallel to record. don't know how to adjust azimuth and manufacturer sais its adjusted from the factory. will listen to more records and see if I notice it more.
thanks

Distortion where from? What cartridge are you using?

left speaker- too much anti skate
Right speaker- too little anti skate
Both speakers- you're tracking too light. Increase VTF slowly and listen.

If these don't work, maybe problem is somewhere else maybe tracking error. Check your stylus position with protractor. These are just rough guides. In analog, anything is possible.
No don't to lift the back of the arm. Make sure it's level to begin. Add more weight. What are you tracking at?
