Removing sibilance without remastering

Forums

I'd like to remove some of the sibilance from what I hear from my speakers without remastering any of my recordings. Since much of what I listen to is on mp3 (obviously not the best choice) this is often a problem in this format.

I just read an article about an equalizer doing the job nicely.

Could anyone weigh in on this? How does one go about choosig an equalizer?

Motian the Magician

Motian the Magician

I don’t know what Paul Motian’s doing, I don’t understand how he’s doing it, all I know is that it’s wonderful. I’ve just returned from seeing the Motian 3 at the Village Vanguard, a high-powered trio that consists of Motian, Jason Moran, and Chris Potter (and no bassist to hold the anchor). Moran, just shy of 33, is, as I’ve written many times, the most extraordinary jazz pianist around. Potter, 37, as I’ve noted a couple times, is a tenor saxophonist with a galvanic tone and fleet agility. But Motian, at 76 (older than both of his trio mates combined, playing topnotch jazz since his days with the Bill Evans trio a half-century ago, and more combustive now than ever), is the heart-racer.

Need help choosing components...

Hey everyone...

I'll be moving into my first home soon & am starting to look around for an upgrade on my system.

I currently have a vintage NAD integrated amp & a pair of cheap Sony bookshelf speakers (bought new in 1994).

I'd like to get your advice on which components to buy in the build of my new system.

The room will be 17ft wide & 24ft long, with 10ft ceilings. It's an open concept loft with hardwood floors. One side of the room will be dry-walled & the other is strictly glass (floor-to-ceiling windows). The ceiling is exposed concrete.
