Help-sibilance!


Auditioning some Newform 645's which I love. However, as they have broken in, I have begun to notice quite a bit of sibilance which is driving me crazy. It is especially bad with my digital cable, but I first noticed it on Lyle Lovett's new CD which is a great recording. Any comments on what is causing the problem and potential cures would be most appreciated. System: Rotel 991, Rogue 66, MSB Link DAC, Newform R645's and Maggie 1.6's. Thanks, Mike

Lyle Lovett's "Step Inside This House" CD does indeed have a sibilance problem. In other regards it is a very good-sounding recording but I've noticed really objectionable sibilance with that particular recording, especially on disc 2. The problem isn't there on his other CD's, at least with my equipment.
