Symmetrical amplification solved the problem with no other tricks. But
the arm has to be rewired.

Most people use it under the platter as it is easily placed and
shields the entire area. It can also be removed easily without damage
if you don't use an agressive adhesive. The issue is overated. Try the
cartridge first if you have not already. The only time that it seems
to bother anyone is the last track if there are some silent passages
as in some classical works. After the record is over as the run-out
track has no signal, it is noticable, but faint and you would have to
be pretty silly to be upset about that. There are other cartridges if
you can't live with it.

Knowing something about a distortion that is really there, and can actually
be heard under any circumstance is real bothersome (to me). Keeping in mind
that many audiophiles are bothered by things that are not really there and
cannot be heard under any circumstance, is seemingly a signicant force
driving the high-end industry, you have my thoughts on this matter.
