Powercord to tame brightness and add musicality

John, I agree with you about cables and power cords as "tone controls" not being "the preffered method." I suppose that's the way if you don't want to give up your existing gear. I just wouldn't go that way...

BTW, IMHO? forgive my ignorance...

Hi Nick,

You may want to investigate whether the brightness you are experiencing is the result of vibration contamination. If it is (and I have found that one of the sonic symptoms of some types of vibration is an elevation in the brightness region), you may be doing yourself a disservice by trying to manipulate the system and reduce the brightness by changing cables or power cords. If the brightness is caused by vibration but you change cables to try and tame it, the system may actually sound dull or lifeless when you do get around to controlling the vibration correctly.

All above posts by me: please visualize IMHO.

Nickt hasn't stated what speakers he's using, how they are setup, a diagram of his listening room, whether he's using room treatments or what type of rack he places his equipment upon, yet everybody has an idea about taming the "brightness". Physicananimal was right, the madness goes on!
