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

In my experience you can have cart. alignment (VTA etc.) and loading correct and still have problems due to issues with the electronics that you are using. You are dealing with a thorny problem for which there are no silver bullets. It will take some effort on your part to tease things out and resolve the problem. Good luck.
