Final track/.

I have never had the pleasure of hearing a system that can track the final song on side B without splashing sibilants all over the place.

Face it, sibilant control, it is simply one of the holy grails of vinyl, one of the things that will drive you mad, and will also make you smile when you make headway.

Welcome to the hobby dude, it is hilarious and maddening, so trust those ears, because you are clearly on that path already.... hahah!

But it takes linear tracking, a micro-ridge stylus, and judicious use of on-the-fly VTA to smooth those "S" sounds.
I can pretty much count on one hand the number of sibilant LPs I have, out of 2,000. The final "S" in Laura Cantrell's cover of "Don't Break the Heart..." the last tracks on Side 1 and 2 of Cowboy Jazz ...Miles Davis' muted horn on the Live at the Blackhawk set.

    it's the ORG reissue.
    And I do get a hint of sibilance on a "s" or two at the end of Side 1.
    The toughest for my rig without a doubt is muted trumpet.
