I need a DJ driven rescue, or at least an audiophile's guidance. Recently bought a turntable--a belt drive Stanton STR8-20--simply to start capturing my albums to CD. Anyway, to make a long story short, the high, sibilant notes are killing the mix. What is wrong? I have a compressor set to lightly catch these enormous signals, but it's still not enough. On the turntable right now is Derek and the Dominoes, and every time EC Sings an S Sound, it's a blast of SSSSSSXXXXX times 10. I thought that by buying a $100.00 turntable, I'd be able to at least play my old albums. They are clean. No scratches, new needle. Here are my questions: should I have bothered buying a belt driven turntable to begin with? Is my needle bad? even if it's new? Do I need an Ebtech Switcher? Am I too used to CDs and have forgotten how SSSSy "S" SoundS are on albumS? BecauSe the extended jamS SanS vocalS Sound okay. I don't want to spend a fortune, and don't anticipate wanting to scratch like a DJ, so I wonder if I just need a new needle. Don't worry. This is loop related in a roundabout way. Thanks! Paul
