Just added full LP playback


We’ll

I've just added a new LP playback to my system.   It sounds very nice, but...........

re: Pro-ject Classic, Hana SL , Musical Surroundings Phonomona II+
My digital is Chord Qutest with Roon as comparison 

so,  I’m finding the playback being somewhat sibilant and bass shy , as compared to digital 
yes, I’m only about 25-30 hrs of break-in and working on adding albums to add 

what would be the suggested steps for remediation of the SQ

The cartridge may be riding too high in the rear (VTA).

If so, you then would lower the tonearm height.

An easy test for this (if you don't have a thicker mat) is to place an an LP under the one you are playing, which effectively lowers the rear of the cartridge when playing the record.

Probably best to check/reset the tracking force if you have a scale.

Adjusting the arm height on my old SME arm is a PITA so I use a second "shim" mat for super thin LP's (which are typically 70's imports from Europe).

Not a big deal as they are but a very small percentage of my LP library.
