Interconnect Help

Anyone know of an interconnect that brings out the highs or would help make guitars more prominent? I really like the way my system sounds, but it is a tad recessed in the treble area, not annoyingly so but enough I notice at times. So I am wanting a little better treble extension but also don't want the dry etched sound either. Anyway,if any recommentation under 500.00 (only need 1.5 feet or so) I would appreciate it.

I'm very happy with Acoustic Zen Absolute 0.5m XLR that I bought used for $600. Foam Teflon, oversize tubes, 7N zero crystal silver (with 1% copper), 6.1pF/ft 20nH/ft - it doesn't get better than that, at least for the price. Very clean, open, dynamic and neutral. It is 20% more than you're willing to spend and is not easy to find it in 0.5m (1m runs at $800 used) but don't think twice, when you see it for sale.

If it's realistic guitars you want than it's Shunyada you need .

Try cleaning all your systems contacts with deoxit (cables/binding posts/IECs/fuses).

Then let the system settle for an hour & see if that helps. If it does not help, then look into a new cable type. You may be lucky.

I listen to a lot of acoustic guitar, Tommy Emanual, Frank Vingola, Chet Atkins, Mark Knophler, Earl Klugh, Rodrigo y Gabriella, Segovia, etc.... My IC's are DNM with the HFTN upgrade. It is like having no cable at all between my Dac and Pre.
Good-luck

What do you use now? Is it for digital, analog or both? What is the rest of your system? It is hard to recommend anything without knowing it.
