Could it be the tweeter and how you perceive hf sound?. Did you try a different speaker?.
recommendation for speaker wire to soften the highs if possible
Hello,
I need help. My problem is my system sounds harsh on the highs to me. Not extremely bad, but enough that I need to fix it. My system consists of Ryan 610's, oppo Sonica Dac, and a Belles 150a hotrod amp. Speaker wires being used are old monster cable from the 90's. I also have monster cable rca. I mostly stream through Tidal. My question is can I make the desired effect by switching cables or should I add a tube amp or pre amp. My budget on the wire would be around 300.00
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

. Richard Gray power conditioners are warm and will soften up the highs. Model 400 are below $300 on eBay. . Vintage MIT MH-750 Plus speaker cables (white color) on eBay for around $300 are (very) polite, low white noise and really soften up the highs. . Vintage Goertz speaker cables can drastically cut off (some) the highs completely. *** Speaker cables will/may change characteristic of your system a lot so I’d suggest Richard Gray power conditioner. It mated very well with My Belles 150 Hotshot years ago. I then moved on up to Dave’s Reference a150 v2 and couldn’t be happier. |
For the googlth time, systems in a room as individual as a fingerprint. Blanket recommendations are not worth the bits to transmit them. See http://ielogical.com/Audio/CableSnakeOil.php for examples of how the same cable reacts with just amplifier and loudspeaker XO order. When one adds in low level interconnect, all electronic and room colorations buying a component on recommendation is odds worse than craps. |
