Hi, Steve,
Good to hear that you've found a solution to the "problem". I will add though, that what you're hearing isn't necessarily as good as it gets. For now, certainly, enjoy the music. But over the long run, you may want to improve on the quantity and quality of the sibilance you hear.
I would keep the suggestions from this thread in mind when you have some time to do some more experimenting or are looking at upgrading. What I found over the years is that a fair amount of vocal sibilance I was hearing was not as dramatic or noticeable with changes in cartridges and tonearms and better techniques in alignment and tonearm adjustment. Sibilance can be part of the recording itself but the amount (and maybe more applicable, the quality) of sibilance you hear varies with the system used for playback.
And of course the condition of the album makes a huge difference.
Have fun and enjoy the hobby,
Tom
