I would be eternally greatfull of any asssssissstance given to remedy a condition that my ssssystem is ssspewing out.
I guess it's called Sibillance. well it ssssssucks.
I have tried inserting different preamps/amps/tubes as well as 3 different cartridges (shelter 501 II, Grado Ref. music makerIII ) no help.
different cables have been tried too. I used the VPI jig for setting up the cartridge & used magnifing goggles to get it right on the money. VTF set at 1.75gm always playing with VTA & no help.
I am wondering if the tonearm or wiring could be cause?
here is my setup: VPI TNT Base Teres wood platter JMW12.5 Arm Music Maker III cartridge VPI phono cables
Mapleshade copper ribbon I/C's Decware Preamp Decware Phonostage First Watt F1 Mapleshade Speaker cables Hornshoppe Horns
The music my system makes is wonderful EXCEPT for the sibillance exageration, if I can get rid of this problem I will be an extremely happy camper.
