sounds like you are exceeding the dynamic capabilities of either your player or even your system making it yell at you.
Playback or Recording
Five seconds in on "Don’t Know Why", Norah Jones hits some high notes on her piano. On my system, these notes sound ’hot’. With some cable swapping, these notes tone down, but the overall dynamics soften as well. Are these ’hot’ notes an artifact of my system or the recording? This is playing the CD. How does it sound on vinyl?
