Well my phono cart did have a long break in so that could have been it. My dealer told me that solid state has a longer break in than tubes. But he is a flake so I can't take his word as gospel. So when preople say thier solid state gear broke in then it must mean thier hearing was damaged making them able to tolorate the offending frequency. What are you useing to test. Can the instrument be set at a location where the user sits and pick up everything as well as the human ear?

My ears are ringing from listening last night. didn't even turn it up that high. I'm going to try setting the speakers to small as the gentleman from Outlaw suggested. We'll see if that helps. I got a call this morning and they are sending my cables.
