I listen to classical music. I recently upgraded a couple of components in my system. (Amp and CD player.) I figured by upgrading I'd get better sound,as I was hearing some distortion. I have a pair of Paradigm Reference Studio 100s. I am now hearing alot of distortion coming from mainly the string section of the orchestra. It is consistent on almost every one of my CDs!(And when the full orchestra plays- forget it...)
The strings sound raspy...and almost unlistenable when the dynamic gets above a mp.
I am just sick. I upgrade to improve the sound and it makes my vast CD collection effectively unusable.
Has anyone had this experience? I took some CDs to a hi-end stereo store and played them there. The distortion was still there. The salesman told me I would just have to get used to listening to the distortion. These were recent Berlin Philharmonic Cds...supposedly high quality recordings.
I am at a loss of what to do. The joy of listening to classical music has been stolen from me.
HELP!
