Ortorfon OMB-10

Agreed, I think we have an alignment issue here. Like I told you Frenchie, the OM body can be tricky to align. Did you try the toothpick across it?

PoppaC...I went back over my steps in setting up the cart. Everything was fine. But I did go to Vinyl Engine to see what the tracking force is with the OM-10. Its from 1.25-1.75g. So I set it to 1.25g. The sibilance and noise is about gone. Blakey's cymbals sound much better....not nerve plucking as before. This is a detailed cart. Could use a little more in the bottom end and a little more warmth....not boring warm but not edgy. In comparison the Elan is a lot smoother and warm IMO. A lot of the noise is gone as well. My dealer called and said the 2M Red is in so I will pick it up tomorrow. IF I send you an album to complete our deal, will I have to pay import fees? I think I may get a second table before I get another one in about 12 months. I want a vintage table...something that wont cost to much coin. Something like an old Dual 1264 or Marantz 6300 or something like that and have them both set-up.

Most cartridges will track better and control sibilance better when the tracking force is in the upper half of the recommended range. Don't be afraid to try at least 1.5g. Assuming a dead-level VTA, I generally prefer my tracking force at least 0.1g above the midpoint of the recommended range.

Thanks noob. I'll try it at 1.5 and let you know how it sounds.
