So you're getting the best possible  sound at 93 SRA? Any sibilance at that level?
I never tested another SRA. Not each vinyl is cutted with the same angular.
Temperature and VTF affect it too.
Only one vinyl from 500 hisses a little bit.

Really nice rip. Here is some of my rips done with my XGP LW. Played on LP12
(Cirkus/Radikal/Kore) w/AO PU7 tonearm. What did you play it on yours?

It is not a rip. This is from digital file. From anyone. I want to show you, that the original audio file has to much sibilance.
Yes, your rip has hot s-tones and sound a bit bright. A lot of today masters sounds to bright with pushed treble. I don´t know if this is the reason or the cartridge.

If you want a cartridge which is unsensitive with sibilance, go for EMT
This is a rip from me

But the Frog sound so much more natural and with more resolution. I have sold the EMT
