My copy of Priscilla Ahn's "A Good Day" sounds wonderful with no sibilance at all. You might try dropping the height of the tonearm down just a tad. Sibilance can come from the VTA, (or SRA) being too high. Dropping the rear of the tonearm down will help with this.
Priscilla Ahn Sibilance
Very new to hifi and just started a new system with a Pro-Ject Xpression III, Arcam FMJ A18, B&W 683s, using Audioquest Sydney cables from turntable to Arcam. Turntable is still using the Sumiko Oyster cartridge that came with it, and is calibrated to the suggested downforce 18mN.
Anyway, got a 180g pressing of Priscilla Ahn's A Good Day and was noticing a fair amount of sibilance throughout the LP, not exclusive to the inside or outside. If I hook up my mac to the system to play the same songs, definitely don't get the problem (also digital vs analog, I know). Wondering if anyone has A) had this problem with the vinyl, b) has any suggestions (also a loaded question). Thank you.
