Thanks for the replies, gents. Certainly only on a few albums so far. Not sibilance per se, but more of a distortion on peaks in the mid band - guitars, keyboards, etc. Bass and treble not an issue. For example, another one that does it is an old Stanley Clarke album. (Funny that it's Corea and Clarke!) First song starts out with some drumming and bass for maybe 30 seconds and sounds good. I'm thinking, good score for $4! Then the guitar starts in and it's instant distortion. Grrrr
Brand new Rega P6 with exact cart. I think I have it set up pretty well. Most albums sound very good with no problems. Other than the normal pops and ticks of course! A definite upgrade from my old Dual. I am leaning towards bad pressing or just plain worn out. I am taking notes and will do a good cleaning asap. Maybe that will help a bit.
