No, you don't need to be more clear, I know exactly what sibilance sounds like. I record voiceovers for three weekly radio shows. I can hear sibilance in my own voice or on certain recordings in my record, tape, and CD collection.
-You note that what you're hearing is associated with vocals, "S" sounds in particular.
-You note that it's observed on both new and used records.
-In addition, it's not present on all recordings.
Everything points to vocal sibilance, which is in the recording itself. If you don't want to believe me and would rather listen to guys tell you it's your speakers, the cartridge, cartridge alignment, groove damage, etc... go right ahead. Ya might as well bang your head against a brick wall for all the good it'll do you though.
It's apparent from several misinformed postings on this thread that some guys have no clue what sibilance really is (I'm not talking about mistracking from too-light VTF). This brief article is worth a quick read:
