There's been a few threads on this subject. Some have claimed to completely eliminate any negative trace of sibilance simply by purchasing a more appropriate source(cdp).
For several reasons I find that difficult to believe. My experience with negative sibilance completely vanished upon my inserting the Foundation Research LC-1 and LC-2 passive in-line conditioners on each component. (These conditioners also do much more than just eliminate the negative sibilance.)
Others may find that hard to believe.
But I am convinced that, assuming the equipment is of adequate quality, negative sibilance has everything to do with the poor quality AC coming into everybody's home.
Also, keep in mind that there is nothing that you can do about negative sibilance in the recording or microphone itself.
In addition, you do not specify which kind of cabling you are using. There are plenty of cables and ic's that produce a grain or hash that cetainly can emphasize any negative sibilance you may already be experiencing.
-IMO
