hissing sibilants

I'm having trouble with this hisssssing "esses" and sssibilantsss.
I have a Pro-ject RPM9.1x TT + 9cc tonearm, Lyra Delos cart and Electrocompaniet ECP-1 phono stage.
I may blame it on:
- alignment, namely VTA (it's set just correct, i.e. arm is horizontal, but some say Delos "likes" to be a tad higher than the tail of the arm, is that true ?)
- load impedance: ECP-1 does not allow regulations, they say it does all by itself; yes, but how, and what's most, which load is it set at ? I don't know.

what's your opinion ?
thanks, ciao

I thank you all.
I don't have problems with CDs and I have it with many records, that's why blame it on my analog setup -I'd better say on how I have set it.
These days I'll try one or two different phono stages (North Star Phonostage and Whest 3.0RDT), then we'll see -no: hear- if the ECP-1 is guilty.
If not, I'll try and re-set VTA.
thanks again
