I need some clarity

Hey guys, can yall give some suggestions on how to brighten the sound of my system. It consists of:
Ah! Njoe Tjeob CDP with the Burr Brown OPA627 Op-amp upgrade
Van Den Hul The Bay C5 IC
Parasound HCA 750 power amp
Acoustic Reasearch speaker wire (to be replaced soon)
Magnepan MMG

The midrange is quite nice and strong, the bass is fine, but I need more clarity and detail. My options in placement is very limited because I live in the dorm at my school, plus I have a roommate so I only have half of the room. I'm hoping I wont have to buy a pre amp with tone controls or brighter speakers. Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Thanks

I generally don't recommend doing this but try a silver interconnect- it will bring resolution into the foreground, it will also brighten things up a little bit. I would recommend something reasonible like Tekline TL-500s, Stealth or Vantage audio. If you need a 1.5m length and are interested in the tekline(which will do exactly what you are looking for it to do) I can make you a very good deal. Looks like you have a nice system for a dorm! I really really like magnepan speakers too!

Have you ever looked at the Virtual Dynamics line of cables. I introduced Nites (interconnects and power cord)into my system a couple of months ago and I have never looked back since. The clairity I know have is mind blowing! I am saving up for Nite speaker wire also. I have also had a chance to hear their entry level of cables, The Auditions, and I believe they are the absolute best line of cables for the money!

What tubes are you using in the Ah! deck? These would seem to be a likely candidate as it's the source.

Plenty of info on tube rolling with these units @ AA.
