Help -- my system is too bright

I find it very interesting that so many recommendations can be confidently suggested despite the fact that Rsbeck has told us nothing about what speakers and cables he is presently using.

Me, I'm waiting for the day when an audiophile posts here complaining that his system is lacking brightness... :-)

Does "digital hash" or noisy AC cause high end brightness?

I hadn't noticed this question initially...
Yes it certainly does - the radiated noise emanating back out onto your AC line contaminates the AC power supplying other components. Line conditioning can significantly attenuate that phenomenon, as can a filtered AC cord. The JPS Digital (filtered) AC cord is one common cure for brightness issues. Custom Power Top Gun or BMI Eel are other filtered cords, & of course I'm only barely scratching the surface regarding these filtered cord offerings. But do try the line conditioner, which should also benefit in that regard.

Duke --

Thanks for the suggestion. The Krell FPB 350 MCX's
have dedicated Power Cords, so it isn't an option to
swap PC's on the Krells.

My speakers are Monitor Audio Studio 60's. I am using
12 AWG 99.999% OFC Speaker cables.

Bob --

The AC filter is ordered and on the way. Might take a few weeks, but when I get it, I will post a review.

I ordered the BP-3.5

I have read that people get results from Filtered PC's
on their digital sources. The Yamaha has a detachable
power cord, but the PC on the Yamaha is only a two
pronger -- what do you make of that?

In any case, I will keep the Yamaha for it's DVD
capability, but I am looking to upgrade my CD
player and then -- is a filtered PC redundant if
you are plugging it into a filter?

I am open to CD player suggestions.

Been reading great things about the Audio Aero Mark II.

Finally, when someone says a speaker wire "rolls
off the top end" -- how is that achieved?

Anyone know the science behind that?
