Did I damage my speakers?
I have the exactly described issue on vocals sounding “hazy and sometimes distorted”. This happens on fuller tones. Playing only vinyl, I think the issue is a mismatch between my cartridge and arm.Your problem may be due to dirty power. Maybe... 
What does clipping sound like?
I have less than 200 hours on my Miyajima Shalabi. Triplanar arm, Woodsong Garrard 301.I am actually hoping that it is a compliance mismatch cart and arm.Just playing 1812 Overture on the cannons the arm jumped off the record and the sound stopped... 
What does clipping sound like?
I notice this distortion most with vocals. When there is a full tone frequently this break up happens. Hope that it is the compliance mismatch of the cartridge and arm. 
At This Time Can We Recreate Full Range Live Music In The Home?
As frequently the case, MC says it best. Electrically reproduced music is an art. Art is a vehicle that “comments” on aspects of life.When does Art become Life? When there is a suspension of disbelief. As with a stereo system of a certain quality,... 
Your favorite OCC speaker cable
You would be hard pressed to find better speakers than Fidelium by Silversmith. I replaced $6000 cables with 8’ of them for $1200.the old cables are now junk. 
What does clipping sound like?
All TT settings were done with the guidance of Tri. Believe them all to be correct. Think it must be a combination of mistracking and bad, old records. 
What does clipping sound like?
I think it is mistracking. Miyajima Shalabi wt Triplanar arm. I don’t have this distortion on Netflix, etc.Waiting on a Lyra Atlas SL.  Hope that is better.Also distortion on new LPs so not just old, worn record sound.

My power should be good. I use Shunyata Triton/Typhon.I am realizing that the distortion problem must be in my TT rig. Woodsong Garrard 301, Triplanar, Miyajima Shalabi and Atma-Sphere MP-1.Could it be mistracking of the cart?Am waiting on a Lyra ...

Has anyone ears the difference between the Audions and the Vivace, Grand Vivace? 
What does clipping sound like?
I have Tetra 606s. For a long time I pushed them with a 300B SET at 8 watts. Clearly, they wanted more power. Seems like I am pretty confirmed that the scratchy breaking up I hear on swells is clipping. 
TANNOY will stop Hi-FI ?
The up line Tannoy are truly special. That is, if you like the BBC/British take on music. Some might say “polite”.I was the proud owner of the late Doc Gizmo’s (Harvey Rosenberg)Westminster Royals. Highly modified. They could fill a very large roo... 
What do $2500 speaker cables sound like?
1+++++ for Silversmith Fidelium!!!$1200 for an 8’ pair. $175 for bi wire adaptor.I replaced $6K great cables that are now junk. Read that others have replaced $20-$30K cables in $600K and $1 million systems. Fideliums smoke all.They were the bigge... 
what system musicians prefer? Do they care?
I used to be the only CA dealer for ATC. They are a professional tool used by many musicians, studios and concert halls. But the only Audio company I know that has rave endorsements from many of the world’s foremost musician/audiophiles using them... 
Magico compared to Tannoy
Hi cantorgale,Are you a cantor? Starting my career also as an opera singer, I considered becoming a cantor.Glad you got the Rockports. At least at shows, Rockports were always the best big speakers. Super real sounding.
