Stereolab – Switched On

May be little off topic concerning this record but anyways:
I recently switched back to my amp integrated phono-pre and the mentioned sibilance-problem of this issue arose to me again, when listening to this record. The very treble-some sound, that I now hear as well has to do with the REGULAR inputcapacitance of phono-pres of 47 pF (plus those are mostly harsh sounding ceramic capacitors). This causes the resonance frequency of the phonocartige circuit to be kind of hard freak-quency at about 10K Hertz. With my external phonopre I dont have such problems, since I replaced the inputcapacitor for a capacitance of 330pF (!), which results in a very mids orientated sound, 200-150 pF should be about perfect (for ex. for a Nagaoka Mp-110) considering a regular length rca/cinch-cable. That way the response-curve of the resonant circuit is pushed downwards from the treble to the recessed mids. Most people think lowest overall capacitance from cartrige to phono input is desirable, which is very false! This record does the proof. Go for the mids and lower the 10K Hertz curve!

There is no sibilance on my system even though it is sounding clear and bright, instead to me it does sound fantastic! To my tasting Stereolab have never been better.

My copy has very harsh sibilance. It makes the LP almost unlistenable. Does anyone have the same problem?

This reissue sounds absolutely goddamn majestic, best version I've heard and I've owned both OG vinyl and CD. Highest recommendations for this whole series.
