Interconnect for sweet, silky violin sound

Yes, I know, component interactions and all that sort of stuff. But maybe that can be set aside for now. Can anyone, mainly you classical violin fans, recommend an interconnect(RCA)that assists in primarily presenting the sound of the violin as easy,silken and sweet as opposed to bright,peaky,wirey,thin and acidic? I realize every register of this instrument isn't just one way or the other, but there are plenty of components out there that just can't get the violin to sing the way it does at a live concert. I'd just like an honest facsimile. Kind thanks for any assistance here.

Yes, I think you should try Morrow ma3 (Eichman silver bullet). I'm trying right now with my Mac. It's great IC, I think much better than MIT AVT1.

also, you have 60 day audition period, simply you return it.

Thanks

I'm happy that you've allowed your unique experience to act as guide. It's a nice place to be, and refreshing to hear, especially as this hobby is by no means a science.

Don't forget. The sweet spot is always at the peak of an equilateral triangle, and at a distance equal to 83% of the distance between speakers as measured between immediately adjacent inside borders of your speaker enclosures.

That's a joke...really...jeez. ;-)

Hi Neutron...Kind thanks for your nice comments. I'm certainly with you on the equilateral triangle arrangement. Have stuck with that for a very long time. It has always seemed to work optimally for me. Haven't checked up on the 83% matter, but I have experimented with distances from my speakers(Dunlavy SC-4s)and have the chair where I feel I'm getting my best possible sound projection, imaging/soundstaging and spectral balance. Here's to good listening for the both of us---and, of course,others too.
