It's remarkable you've mentioned treble distortions. This is exactly what was driving me crazy for quite a long time: slight buzz on top of the loud passages with sharp dynamic attack.
I managed to get rid of it completely in the end. Guess how?
I put my TT on decent sturdy sandbox, made of birch plywood and suspended on three pairs of superstrong neodimium magnets. Buzz is gone forever. The lesson learned (again): your arm is not suspended in free space; everything is mutually depending. The better your arm becomes, the more weak points is being revealed along the whole playback chain.
yeah that figures, its starting to show up issues with my cart to i think.
Interesting support you have going on there. So your levitating a sandbox with magnets? My plinth is birch ply, although im going to make another as im re-designing the TT. I always planned to incorperate a sand box but need to build a decent table first. Any chance of a pic of your magnet set up? I know theres some pretty strong magnets out there these days, but how much weight can they levitate?
Im glad you had the same issues, actually that sounds really harsh. I obviously would have prefered it if you had success the first try, but at least it confirms im not going mad and there is a solution.

Thanx, i think i get the idea.
Ive started on building another plinth due to a redesign of the deck and a swap of bearing and platter, so it will be a while till i have to worry about support again.
