how to set up a tonearm/cartridge

I have a Micro Seiki RX500 TT, a SME 3012R arm, an Ortofon SPU Classic GME, and a Denon DL103-R cartridges, I'm having a distortion problem that I'd like some help with, if there a generous soul to point me in the right direction, please do so, I hear said distortion mostly when playing the last two or three tracks, and most noticeable when its a female singer.
Please help!!!
Thanks to all.

This sounds mostly like an anti-skate problem since the error is most noticeable on the inner grooves...

If the distortion is mostly in one channel, try adjusting the anti-skating as follows. If distortion in left decrease A/S, if distortion in right increase A/S. If the distortion is equal in both channels then the problem is likely with the arm/cartridge alignment (use a gauge to check this) or else the tracking force may be set too low. Good luck and please let us know what you find.
