The Mono Beach boys album in which you speak sounds so lush in my system. I would suggest you check your tonearm settings,make sure your turntable is level. I had this happen to me and it turned out to be my anti skating setting. I only mention this because you have stated it is happening on other recordings.
Beach Boys Pet Sounds by Analogue Productions
OK, so I was banned from the S. Hoffman site for saying I had a sibilance on my mono copy of AP Pet Sounds. I described that it had very lush mids and strong bass but was confused by the sibilance. So, I made a post asking people if there may be a problem with playback of mono through my stereo setup and...mentioned Pet Sounds! (had no idea there was a psycho lurking). I also asked if anyone else had been experiencing this because I wasn't getting it on other LPs. Long story short, after a couple of informative responses from normal people, Hoffman makes a very angry post that completely trashes me and hurls some generic insults. I gave it back to him because it was just so infantile of a response that I couldn't resist. I just instantly lost respect I guess. After a few back and forths, I sent a personal message asking that my account be deleted. Instead he banned me, and of course the thread was deleted, just like every other thread about Pet Sounds with any real content. Even though I'm banned, it looks like I'm still listed as an active member, I assume so that it's not obvious to other members that he got mad and banned someone for not praising his work. Unbelievable.
Long story short, the responses I got before the host got involved were positive, stating that others were not experiencing the sibilance that I was. What was weirder was that I had already stated that I was thinking that it was either my system or unique to the LP I received. Anyway, I was hoping it was safe to talk about this LP here...or does he control this site too? Hope not!
