Is there distortion at all frequencies or only at the high end? If its only on top, I'd be patient and see if it becomes less as the cartridge is broken in. If its through the entire frequency spectrum, I'd follow all the steps very carefully as Albert has suggested and also read the advice page on the turntablebasics site, which Sdcampbell has pointed out. Cheers,
VPI ARIES and Lyra Helikon SL
Hi,
Has anyone out there set up a VPI Aries, Graham Tone Arm, and Lyra Helikon SL? WHat was the break in time? How was the VTA set? Did you track heavy or light? I set the tracking to the maximum for the cartridge and the VTA to neutral (not tip up or down) and the sound is distorted. Any suggestions? This is a new cartridge set up and all the equipment is working fine.
