Is it normal for a CD manipulated by the Tempo control to sound somewhat distorted or blurry at the slowest reductions?

Yes. These audio distortions occur with most source material. Slowing down the playback tempo while maintaining the pitch does affect the sound on a sliding scale. The further you get away from the original tempo, the more youll notice the deterioration in sound. The quality of the tempo reduction is linked to the source material, too. Some CDs will sound better than others. The type of instruments played and how theyre played all play a factor, too. Tempo reduction is similar to cropping or enlarging a photograph. The further you crop a section of a photo, the more the emulsion of the film starts to show and the more the image becomes distorted.  more
