I have an old Technics turntable I've inherited, and it sounds pretty good, but not spectacular. I've heard other people's vinyl setups sound much better.
My main problem though, is high frequency distortion in loud passages. In quiet passages, highs sound pretty good, detailed, clean. But in loud passages they distort. I adjusted the weight adjustment on the tonearm all the way up (so the cartridge is heavier), and this improved things, but it's still there. I am worried about all the added pressure wearing things out, and it still doesn't fix the problem.
What is causing this?
