if you've really dialed in the vta, i'd suggest you need to mess with the azimuth. rcprince also makes a very good point, tho slight sibilance produced by the "variable vta's" of less-than-level platters can be at least partially ameliorated by making sure all other variables are correctly set. plus, don't get hung up on a single lp for testing. i use a variety of music but particularly rely on more-or-less unaccompanied female voices to adjust vta and azimuth.
Sibilance -- that last little bit...
I have the ever so slightest bit of sibilance toward the end of some LP's.
The Lp's themselves are minty, so I know it isn't the Lp's. (more than one LP rules that out.)
Striving for that last lil touch is gonna drive me nuts!
I have a Well Tempered Classic V, and the arm is a real pain in the ass to set up. Anti skate comes to mind, but that is a real pain-- grrr. Then again more VTF comes to mind as well.
The cart is at the higher end of the recommended VTF -- 1.8 grams.
Any insight is greatly appreciated.
But in the mean time, is really does sound pretty sweet.
Thanks in advance.

A new cart is in the works--- but ya know the upgrade-itis bug.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
