Static on highs

I am still learning the ropes, so please bare with me. My current (entry)set-up is a project debut with a tube box and a jolida 202a. While listening to my Brubek I've noticed a static on some highs, especially the piano - they seem like they are slightly going through a distortion pedal. I looked at the record and it seems like new. Is there something I am missing?

thanks in advance!

Static on highs, sounds like a town in England!

I think I may be running the needle too heavy. The record started skipping so I blindly (don't cringe) adjusted the weight heavier to stop the skipping. This, I hope; is the reason. I'll check when I get home. Seriously - thanks to this forum for all the help.

Cringe....

Fix that first and see what happens.

ok, so I went back and adjusted the counterweight correctly, but I had to take the anti-skate weight off because it pulled the arm off the record. I tested to see if the table was level and it was - but if I have the weight on, the needle doesn't stay put. Do I HAVE to use the anti-skate?

Probably a good idea to set anti-skate properly.

Not sure how to properly adjust AS on a Project table though....

Maybe someone familiar with the Project can help?
