Help
I have a Rotel 1572 integrated amp and B&W 603 speakers. I am unhappy with vocals in all genres. Too much sibilance! Sources are a Cambridge CD transport, a Rotel RCD 1572 CD player, both are running through a Denafrips Ares II DAC. My turntable setup is ok but not great, sounds better than both CD sources. I am about to give up and start over. Any advice out there?
Many years ago, I had a Rotel amp + Rotel CDP + B&W speakers. This was a very fatiguing system for my tastes-- I didn't hang onto it for long. Can you perhaps borrow a different transport/cdp and amp from a friend and try each in your system? Without being able to isolate which component is producing the sibilance, it'll be difficult to remedy.

I am clearly biased with the selections I will provided but in all honesty I had been on the gear merry go round for years. While I have the Linn Selekt DSM and an almost full spec LP12 these could be a good way into the world of Linn. BTW, any LP12 you buy can become a full spec LP12 at any time. Very upgradable. My amp is a McIntosh MC150 with Dynaudio Special 25 speakers. I have never been happier with my system. Give Linn a try if yo can or at least a listen. Also do not be afraid to pay a bit more so you are not selling and buying stuff over and over again.
