What in the world is going on.....

you may be on to something missioncoonery.   

The issue is not with my volume control. The problem is what happens when you send too hot a signal to the cutter head, which, IME caused the minor sibilance issues. This could have been avoided with more care. It is not terrible but it is there. And, once you hear it, there is no avoiding it.

Well, bad recording will of course sound bad on anything but it will still sound better with better equipment. You are talking nonsense.

That's the best answer of discussion. Even if he's perfectly recorded and mastered, he would still sound crap.

Whaaaaat?  If that true what’s up with all those Grammy nominations for album of the year?

"Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Daniel Lanois (as record producer) and Bob Ludwig (as mastering engineer) are the biggest winners in this category with three victories each. Ludwig is the only person to win the award three consecutive years (2013–2015). Paul McCartney leads all performers with nine nominations: five as a member of The Beatles, three for solo albums, and one as a member of Wings. Sinatra leads solo performers with eight nominations, seven for solo albums and one for a duet album. McCartney and Simon are the only artists with nominations in every decade from the 1960s to the 2000s."
