Getting rid of harsh, shrill treble

mamboni, What is the brand of cable? How much did they cost?

Eldartford,
Thanks for the info. Have you purchased any of the Blue Line CD's from artsmusic.de? I was wondering if they sound as good as xrcd24's.

I'm not sure if the last post "stuck" so here it is again:

$3.84 per foot of 18 ga teflon-coated .9999 silver wire for purchases of 50-99 feet at:

Classical_fred...Yes the Blue Line are very good, but I can't comment on how they compare with xrcd. Try one and see what you think.
By the way, buying from this German outfit is just as easy as a domestic internet dealer, and shipping is almost the same cost and almost as quick.

This is how and why so many audiophiles spend money on the wrong parts of a system. Chasing down a character like this guy is dealing with before fixing the wire coloration that is causing it, that's the start of the audiophile blues. He can smooth his system out with wire with the existing amp, and not be using a colored cable to do it but instead going with the neutral place a system should be built around. There is such an extreme coloration from wire that any choice made on an amp would be the wrong amp when you get around to a wire upgrade later. Guaranteed you would like Audience or JPS wire in the existing system, then your component upgrades can be done from an enhancement angle as opposed to trying to band-aid a major problem. Lot of responses here for nobody to be picking up on that, although I didn't read them all.

When putting a system together around speakers like Wilson Audio WP7's it isn't the amps that are as critical as the wire is, wire colors the amp's sound.
