Simon and Garfunkle Live in Cental park (is it just me?)

Posted by Todd R (A) on September 4, 2002 at 13:21:28

Anyone else have this album?

I have a nice copy, but on "Bridge Over Troubled Water" (last song side 3) when Art sings loudly, it's horribly distorted.

I have my cartridge all lined up perfectly, anti skate set, azimuth checked, tracking force OK. Record cleaned with Vynl-Zyme, then Record Research Record wash, vacuumed off on the Record Doctor vac.

Now, I've noticed other recording flaws on this album like buzzing amps and that sort of thing, so I'm wondering if the distortion I'm hearing is due to Art overloading the mic, (Is it in the recording?) or is my cartridge mistracking?

Could someone play their copy and tell me which it is?

BTW, I got the 1042 stylus today that supposedly improves on the 1012GX.
The 1042 has more distortion during this passage than the 1012GX. I'm assuming it will improve with break in.
Thanks,
Todd R
