Static on highs

Yep, Audiofeil hit the most likely causes.

Needle/stylus damage or deposits on same is another possibility.

Could be anything though. Do you have another source (analog or digital) that does not have the same problem? That would eliminate the possibility of an issue with the amp or it's tubes or something with the speakers.

Check your VTF. I was getting distortion recently and discovered that I was running 1.5G higher than should have been. Not sure how that happened, but I adjusted the weight and all is well. Turntable gremlins, you know.

Here's something that might not have been considered: a ground issue somewhere. I know, it sounds unlikely. But I had the same symptoms with a Rel sub connected to an SET amp which ended up having a mismatch in impedance/ground. Investigate it. You have nothing to loose.

When you say "my Brubeck", do you mean that the problem is confined to a single LP? Unless the problem is constant throughout your collection (within similar frequencies and tones) you just have a bad record-and eyeballing it only shows the most obvious, and grossly apparent, damage.

Saying that, hearing distortion on an lp is always a good time for a system-wide tune-up, (including cart alignment and settings), and some thought to the number of plays on your current stylus- especially if you haven't done it for awhile.

Static on highs, sounds like a town in England!
