Hi all,

I seem to be having an IGD issue with my Beogram. The sound is rich and balanced until it gets to about halfway through a record, at which point sibilance and distortion ramps up severely, including on brand new records. The Beogram's recently been serviced by Quality Dream Audio. Around two years ago I bought a Soundsmith MMC4 cartridge - I've heard these aren't very good trackers? This may be the case, but I can't imagine it to be that obvious. Any help on possible causes would be great. The weight is set up to the correct tracking, and increasing it doesn't make a difference.

Here's my setup:

Beogram 9000

Sounds Heavenly B&O Preamp

Schiit Magni 2

Hope I can get to the bottom of this with your help. Thanks!
