Here is the sample from Suzanne Vega st German pressing. Very good example of the my major Issue with my Colibri - sibilance in the right channel. I think I dialed all antiskating possibilities yet it is still there. Does your copy have that sibilance?

I use Audio Origami PU7 tonearm. Compatibility test with Colibri gives me 9Hz resonance.

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what is the source of this sibilance in the right channel on too many records.

Last week i have measured 4 Frog´s with Adjust+.
All tracked well and had good measured datas. If you want, i can measure your Colibri, but i am from Germany.

Please tell me a view vinyl´s from us both to compare the recording.
