You haven't mentioned what table you have, this leaves me to wonder if it has adjustable VTA. If the arm has a fixed height then adjusting the cartridge to the best possible setup as your dealer has might still be something less than optimal for the cartridge in question. It's been my experience if the VTA is too forward so will be the musical presentation, and too laid back again so goes the presentation.Look at the arm when playing, does it appear level, or is it tail up/down? Most cartridges are designed to be correct when the arm is level with the playing surface, there are exceptions. Grados tend to like to ride slightly tail down, at least that's been my experience. If you do adjust VTA or overhang just remember to reset VTF, an inexpensive scale to adjust stylus force is essential here.
Now if talking sibilance, this could be a cart/arm mismatch, again knowing the table used would be a big help.
I've recently experienced just how important perfect synergy between arm and cart can be with my Grace G707 arm/Grace f8-L'10 cartridge setup.
