I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance
Something is amiss. You have a number or "thrift" LPs - all showing sibilance.Difference preamps, tables, arms etc.What’s common to all? Amp and speakers, support, wiring, and your alignment efforts.Have you tried mint LPs, or other copies, as mil...

Millercarbon, the problem for me is that I have a background in electronics, and I know not so much the specific explanations, but that there is an explanation. There is always one or one forthcoming. Is it a physical phenomenon or a psycho-acoust... 
Thoughts about Jadis and Harbeth
I wouldn’t. At this price point, there are better amps. The Jadis is a hybrid with transistors in the driver circuit. The bias pots do not look robust, fuses are inside and not serviceable. I think you should buy a US made amplifier like the Quick... 
Value, if any, of vintage TT and tone arm.

I have a Decca Super Gold on my year old Jelco knife edge bearing arm and I hear no indication of this chatter you speak of. If a Decca doesn't induce it, then perhaps it is a well-executed knife edge. Or is that becuase it's not old and worn? Tim...
