Replacement for Nordost Cables in my system?


Hi,

My system is as follows:
VPI Scout/JMW9 (hopefully upgraded to a VPI Classic soon)
Whest PS.30R Phono Stage
Musical Fidelity A5CR Pre Amp
2xMusical Fidelity A3CR Power Amps bi-wired
ProAc D15 Speakers
Nordost Red Dawn Speaker Cable
Nordost SPM/Red Dawn Interconnects

I like my system but I'm a bit disappointed with the slight harshness in the top end, especially in reproduction of sibilance so I'm considering selling my expensive Nordost Cables to replace them with cables that suit my system better. If I spend less then that money would be used for future upgrades.

I listen mostly to Indie and rock/pop
Initial research suggests that VdH may be a better match, any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance.

I can't call my Nordost bright, more like revealing. If anything in your system is bright, they won't cover it up. For a little warmth, I sometimes will switch to Kimber, JPS or Apature to soften things up.
I would keep the SPM cables and replace the Red Dawn. Try SPM end to end and if you are still having problems look else where.
Thanks for all the replies.

@Coxhaus - To be honest I'm not prepared to spend thousands on cables to have SPM end to end, I think I'd rather spend that kind of money on component upgrades.

Knghifi - The cables do sound very interesting but again 5 interconnects (TT-Phono, Phono-Pre,CD-Pre,Pre-Power, Power-Power) and speaker cable would run close to €4000 which I don't want to spend on cables. I'd rather find a cheaper or equivalent set of cables to the Nordost or upgrade the amplification if that's where the problem lies.
Maybe sort your turntable out first, it's better to make one change at a time. Maybe do some research here, I've read posts here recently about VPI and harsh top end. Wires can reveal other problems in your rig.

Good luck,
Mike
