Priscilla Ahn Sibilance


Very new to hifi and just started a new system with a Pro-Ject Xpression III, Arcam FMJ A18, B&W 683s, using Audioquest Sydney cables from turntable to Arcam. Turntable is still using the Sumiko Oyster cartridge that came with it, and is calibrated to the suggested downforce 18mN.
Anyway, got a 180g pressing of Priscilla Ahn's A Good Day and was noticing a fair amount of sibilance throughout the LP, not exclusive to the inside or outside. If I hook up my mac to the system to play the same songs, definitely don't get the problem (also digital vs analog, I know). Wondering if anyone has A) had this problem with the vinyl, b) has any suggestions (also a loaded question). Thank you.

My copy doesn't have any sibilance, but the music is extremely ordinary, so it's no great loss. MoFi must think that putting a cute girl in a tee shirt on the cover will get people to buy it. Well, that's why I bought it, but that's me. I played it once and that was enough. If anyone wants to buy it, let me know. (But I'm keeping the cover)
