Hi!!
I recently got a ProJect Primary E, which has got very nice reviews for the entrly level segment.
Question is: I hear the sound a bit distorted. In fact I returned a first Primary E in which the distortion was unbearable: it made the turntable directly not usable.
Two days later I received a second one: the distortion level is by no means that of the first one, but I've got quite a trained ear (I am a drummer, piano player, bass player and producer) and I notice a slight distortion in the left channel at times...
Is it related with the stylus? It comes bundled with an Ortofon OM NN, which I think is low-end entry level as well. Perhaps an Ortofon Pro-S would improve?
Or could be that the turntable is delivering too hot a signal to the amplifier?
I am using the MM position in the amplifier PHONO input (a Sansui A-60), see attached. Is that correct?
