RE: Reasons for distorted sibilance?

Hi

How old is your cartridge? Worn stylus will make things worse.

If I remember correctly, Pearl has an elliptical stylus, or may be even spherical? I gave up on many cartridges because of poor tracking, which manifested itself in many instances in distorted sibilance and inner groove distortion. I currently only use micro ridge type stylused cartridges, such as Audio Technica OC9ML mk II and Audio Technica AT33PTG. No more problems whatsoever. And your speakers and electronics have nothing to do with it.
