Another "kinda-newbie" head scratcher


No matter what Phonostage I use, no matter which cartridge or cables, I get an annoying distortion sound from my speakers kind of like the sound of AM in between stations if anyone here is old enough to remember that sound. Doesn't happen on the digital side. 

 

Any ideas?

I just want to thank everybody for their help. I really appreciate it you guys are the best. I was just so perplexed or I wouldn't have asked . But it seemed to have worked fine for a while without a problem. I don't know maybe I'm just losing it. 

To be clear, when listening to vinyl, you will ALWAYS have a certain level of distortion. And that specific distortion is pleasing to many people, and is why a lot of folks prefer listening to vinyl instead of digital (my wife is one of them). Maybe you just prefer the non-vinyl sound more.

RB, I hope you and AI will live happily ever after, but what did I write that contradicts the bloviation of your favorite source? The difference between the two terms is mostly semantic, and I was describing how they are commonly used here in the US and in my internet readings or book readings.
