Can sibilance be eliminated?

I have a CD only system & it has great detail that exhibits no sibilance but I wouldn't necessarily say that was a condition relegated to digital payback. Your system synergy (or lack of) will have a lot to do in determining what is the best direction to go regarding your particular problem.

Since you did not list any of your components, it's difficult to even begin to offer suggestions, as it could be any number of things.

I think the original question has to do with too much sibilance & although there are some very poorly recorded tracks that accentuate sibilance, I find it's not usually an issue with the recording.

I've found that some silver cables are a little on the bright side which may accentuate the sibilance which can be the cause of some concern.
