Sibilance -- that last little bit...


I have the ever so slightest bit of sibilance toward the end of some LP's.

The Lp's themselves are minty, so I know it isn't the Lp's. (more than one LP rules that out.)

Striving for that last lil touch is gonna drive me nuts!

I have a Well Tempered Classic V, and the arm is a real pain in the ass to set up. Anti skate comes to mind, but that is a real pain-- grrr. Then again more VTF comes to mind as well.

The cart is at the higher end of the recommended VTF -- 1.8 grams.

Any insight is greatly appreciated.

But in the mean time, is really does sound pretty sweet.

Thanks in advance.

A new cart is in the works--- but ya know the upgrade-itis bug.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Sounds like a tricky situation; you might achieve some better setup results with the HiFi News & Record Review test record, stylus alignment protractor, Wally Tools etc. With a cantankerous arm like that you'll need better than the existing guesswork setup method.
