You have several good points here.
I had considered that the dynamics may be different, possibly the high freq might accentuate it, or even the speakers were contributing.
One thing I was interested in is if it were possible the cdp creates any emphasis on higher order harmonics.
The effect is not subtle, it's got to the point that even through headphones plugged into the cdp I can only take a few minutes, even at quite low level listening.
I can't figure out why the TT rig lessens the effect to such a high degree.
Just curious if any others had noticed this at all.
