Resistor in phono stage

misternice, I've left comments to those who know more about electronics than I do.  But now I must ask, have you experimented with VTA?  Some cartridges with some records can sound bright (as you reported) when set up with the standard parallel to the record alignment.  Lowering the tonearm a bit to tip the cartridge back can sometimes help.

I guess it depends if there was any music in those 90 records you'd like to retain.

Thanks,ill swing back and play with the VTA.Ive been running the arm horizontal to the record,and left it there.

Agreed. But if you value the OP's time at minimum wage or higher, he might as well use the best. Just my view.
