Pollution - S/T (Prophesy 1971)@tomic601 Interesting. It's not something I'd buy. However, I like it. It's almost like Janis met Jesus. Gospel jazz funk! Recording is a tiny little bit tight and dry. NM and clean. Nice. 
rule of thumb: how long do you leave a tube preamp on versus turning it off then back on?
20 minutes warm up for me including turntable does the trick. But, it all sounds so much better after about 6 hours. Turn off when done. Best not to leave powered up tube gear unattended.

@slaw Trying out the Noteworthy against my trusty low-rent Belkin AV20302-06 ICs. They’re inexpensive but transparent, fast, and do not roll off the highs. The Noteworthy’s have more musicality and deeper (huge) soundstage, more color, a reduction...

Agree with MC. Unfortunately, OP has WAF issue.

@slaw @boxer12 Sorry to hear of your wife's illness.I have a pair of Tim's ICs. I've no idea of their price point but they sound very nice.

In My Tribe. Interesting.  I bought it when it was released. I haven't played it in 20 years. I recall it being thin and digital. And not the good kind.

I have one. Very nice. Give it at least 10 hours to bed in and fill out. 
Distortion/too much bass from turntable
@garfycat Glad I could help.

A few other thought to those above. Tracking weight too high? VTF. Arm parallel with record? The lid could also be causing acoustic feedback.
