I am using your cartridge's lower output brother, the AT ART 7, on my 12" VPI 3D arm/VPI HRX. I too had some sibilance issues, but relatively minor ones. I too used the mechanical antiskate devise VPI provides but doesn't like. After getting a bad case of OCD trying to eliminate every last vestigial smeared "s" appearing exclusively in the left channel, I started thinking about whether the antiskate could be the problem. So I disconnected the line from the antiskate lever. Then I rechecked azimuth with my Fozgometer. I had to shift the Counterintuitive that came with my arm in precisely the opposite direction than I had it set with the antiskate operational, interestingly enough. Anyway, when finished, the left channel sibilance disappeared. My hypothesis is that even at its lowest setting, I was getting too much antiskating force using the mechanical device when you consider that the wire to the lemo connector exerts some antiskating on its own. Easy enough for you to try, if you want. Just pull the upper black donut off the upper antiskate arm and remove the fishing line. Good luck.
