RE: Help troubleshooting old cheap turntable :-P

" Where does that distortion come from? The stylus? The cartridge? The settings?... "

The answer is, yes. Possibly any of them, all of them or any permutation thereof.

You say that you are new to vinyl. What records are you playing? If pre-owned then you can't guarantee that they were not damaged previously and they are therefore another candidate for the distortion.

You should not be aware of any distortion. If it were a significantly audible factor in vinyl replay then people would not have stuck with it for 70 years.
