Sibilance how do I get rid of it?
I must agree 150% with Stehno's experiences above; very nicely described as well. Certainly I experienced the very same things when I performed essentially the same experiments several years ago, but with different equipment. 
Graphic equilizers?
if the HF's are that awfully harsh then you have some other problems, not frequency-response related, that an Eq will not resolve. Synergy & cabling issues are a good place to start. Cleaning up your AC power & using some decent AC cords w...

Criminy, I've reached 300 threads

CD manufacturers anti trust case for price fixing
sounds just like the US Gov't.or Enron...Oh wait - they're one & the same, no wonder 
Why bi-wiring is bad
some users will apparently seem to benefit sonically when biwiring while others may not, or may even seem to experience a degradation. Karls has a good handle on the situation; it is a simple synergy issue. It's like I bring a cable or a component... 
Power Conditioning, Regeneration and Cords
believe it or not, even a turntable motor benefits from an upgrade AC cord & high stability power regeneration. Thus the VPI SDS with the Acoustic Sounds' special "turntable AC cord" 
What is the Sound of Impedence Mismatch?
The insertion of a series resistance in order to achieve higher input Z may be worthwhile, or may introduce some other undesirable nasties & so could be a tradeoff situation.In order to do this properly you'll need to get high quality resistor... 
Vinyl and slurring S'es
agree that a VTA adjustment would be in order if you are previously optimized for standard thickness LP's. Be sure to note the ajdustment wheel location / measure / or mark your present VTA position on an index card before you change it, so that y... 
Sibilance how do I get rid of it?
I don't agree with the timeclock theory. Noisy power is due to many possible reasons, not necessarily load-related. The only way to determine if line conditioning will help is to try it, using *decent* equipment (not the lowest budget cheapest thi... 
Is there an easy to use vcr?
wow Sean I'm glad I read this - I was about ready to try that Super JVC, but first & foremost the wife primarily needs to be able to use it to tape her soaps (ugh). 
Sibilance how do I get rid of it?
AC line conditioning can go a long way toward allevieting sibilance issues in my experience. I use the Chang Lighspeed products, a 2500 for source components & a 9900 amp for (guess what) the amps. A 6400 ISO or a 9600 can do it all for you si... 
Which cone's or platforms have helped?
Hi Chuck I neglected to answer your question above:Actually the design differences are significant - not even close to the same shape at all. Regarding hardness, I do not know. Get on the Nordost website to see a picture of the Pulsar Points; very... 
Leveling spikes for speakers
Frank & GThrush your solution is already available. May Audio Marketing sells nice boxed sets of BBC cones/spikes (whatever you want to call them) that have adjustable threads with integral knurled jam-nuts. They are gold plated brass & ar... 
Anyone have 'stereo blend' control experience?
CraigZ I completely forgot about the Crown IC150 & yes that was a real nice preamp back in the day. I've even seen one up for sale here not very long ago. Zaik I think you'd like that one.
