Sibilance


Anyone else troubled by sibilance on Patricia Barber(IMPEX, 1STEP)) otherwise wonderful recording "NIGHTCLUB"?

I have this LP and zero nasties in a sibilance. Most likely a product of your setup. 

My benchmark for this is Cowboy Junkies Trinity Sessions.  I’ve tried both an AT Art 9XI and a Koetsu Rosewood and a wide range of VTA setting with little change. I found changing cartridge loading helped the most. 

I have the first Trinity Sessions vinyl I bought in the 1980s. It has issues.  The recording engineer re-released this record a few years ago and cleaned up a lot of the sibliance in the recordings. Some would argue art is not without its flaws but I enjoy the newer version more than the old one.
