I want to thank all of guys for your comments on my rumble thread. I could read through the lines, and you were all kind enough to not come out and say I needed to buy a better table even though that is what you wanted to say!
This fact was driven home today. I received a new, 200 gram Blue Note recording of Patricia Barber, A fortnight in France. I know this recording fairly well on CD. Either the vinyl is defective, I don't know what I'm doing (likely) or the table is inadequate in comparison to the level of my other gear.
My digital playback is very smooth and real to me. The analog is very harsh and exhibits huge amounts of sibilance. While I did note some additional detail on the vinyl, the remainder of the presentation was and is unacceptable.
So, it appears I'll have to do some searching here and elsewhere to find a table of a higher caliber. I've a budget of about 4-5K for a combination table and cart.
Thanks, I hate you guys!
