Recommendation for an audiophile speaker cord that is not "bright"?

oldhvymech and others-

My friend loaned me the Nordost Valhalla 1 and 2, and Frey 2 speaker cords. Since the Nordost power cables, QSource and Qpoint had performed so well in my system, I tried these speaker cables. Apparently they were not a good fit, whether it is my ears, the acoustics of the listening room, a mismatch between the amplifier (ARC GS150) and/or Wilson Sasha DAW, or for whatever reason, although the sound was "fuller" than the lower end Transparent speaker cables I have been using, on some recordings, high frequencies were unlistenable (way too "bright").

Yes, I do work in trauma surgery, although I am doing quite a bit more research these days (getting old). The most incredible time was working at the Washington Hospital Center ER (level 1 trauma center) during the "knife and gun club" era. Although I must say that some of my friends who worked in U.S. military hospitals in Afghanistan (e.g., Helmand Province) during those days came back with shattered lives. All of us in trauma like the "rush" - many of us raced sports cars (on the track) and did other dangerous activities for thrills. Listening to music can be thrilling as well...The OP 

And there you have it.  Many people like the Nordost "detail", but many others realized along ago that they manufacture some of the brightest cables in the business.

Since cables are inherently “bright” and irritating in the wrong direction can we please write off the Nordost “brightness” as simply the 50% of those who tried them having them in the wrong direction. Is that too much to ask?

"  I think at this POINT IN TIME. With evidence we have gathered, the brightness of the cable was (by design) constructed that way. SO the SIZE is not in question but the design is. A different copper design worked but with "less resolution" Is that a fair assumption?"
--------------------

There are basicly two factors that makes a cable sound bright or thin;1: they are(!) thin (=reduces low-end oomph, amp can`t breath) and 2: crossoverdistortion.

The only way to get a rich, open, clean and dynamic sound is to run thick solid core conductors. From the fusebox to the voicecoils if you can, but the speakerwires are the most critical


audiozenology; you have never tryed out this. If you had you would know that it is wrong. 

I have tried many things but what you just wrote is based in fantasy not reality. Oh well. Have a good Christmas.
