Dead Can Dance New LP "into the labrynth"


Does anyone have this new music fidelity pressing? Awesome to say the least, however on Track 3 on side one, "the wind that shakes the barley" I notice only on certain dynamic volume increases the recording sounds as though it was a little "hot" in the vocals? In other words I hear a ever so slight distortion for a split second no matter what volume level I listen to this track at. Could I have a bad pressing or do you think it's simply so resolving, it's coming through via the remaster? Any help or input would be greatly appreciated.

I have no idea. The arm is relatively parallel, with maybe a 2 degree tip forward at the most.
Well now I have 2 copies of this record and I still have the same isssue in the same spot on both records and have checked this on a third table/system. I also checked with the closest Rega dealer and with my cart (Ortofon 2M Black) I should have 3ea shims under the RM700 arm, which I do and that is the optimal VTA for that arm and that cartridge. I also checked the alignment again, and all is nearly perfect. I am at a loss here!
Hi Jimbojrjb,

I had the same issue you have on the same songs on the same album plus on one other album on one song. Possibly maybe on more albums but not discovered by me. Used 2 different copies of the Mofi "Into the Labrynth" too. Same thing.

The issue was related to my phonostage. Same issue was there with the same phonostage at my dealer. They called the manufacturer and they said it was a known issue in some customers systems and a free fix was available. My cartridge puts out .8MV The issue described to me was with the "input sensitivity" and it could be adjusted. It was related not to loudness issues of the signal but with "large macrodynamic swings" of the signal. Perhaps a lower output cartridge would have been fine. I am only a consumer of audio products and do not have technical knowledge of how these things work.

Well anyways this took care of things pretty much however, it is just barely, barely present on "The Wind That Shook The Barley" and eliminated on the other album.

The phonostage is Nagra BPS, my cartridge is Clearaudio Da Vinci V2. Drove me crazy for awhile.

Thank you

I have tried 2 different systems with 2 different phono preamps. Not sure that is the problem, but I do appreciate the feedback.
I talked at length to the guys at Needle Doctor and Accoustic Sounds and both agreed it's an allignment issue. I'm only using a one point allignment that came with the Rega, which is minimal. Any thoughts on some inexpensive two point allignment protractors?? How about the Wally Tractor???
