Years ago, I had a similar problem, only in reverse. That is, the high frequencies sounded more natural at the beginning of the album, and got a bit brighter as it approached the end of the lp. I too, am suspecting this might be coming from the cartridge itself. Not sure though. Like some other posters said, try lowering the tonearm in small increments, changing the VTA, and see what happens.
Will fine tune adjustments with protractor help with "brightness?"
Hello everyone-
I've had my TT setup now for 2 months. System looks like this:
Piega C10 Ltd speakers
McIntosh 402 amp
Technics SL1200GR TT
Lehmann Audio Black Cube SE II phono pre
MoFi Master tracker cart
My ears may be deceiving me, but I swear my vinyl cuts sound slightly brighter at the beginning of the album and soften a little as we near the middle. I set the cartridge by using the little white piece provided by Technics and it sounds great. I've been told by reliable sources that a good protractor, maybe even Feickert Universal Protractor can help me get even more out of my carts.
Would enjoy hearing your thoughts on this. Thanks! Brent
