Cable Suggestions

Looking for unbalanced I/C suggestions. My current system:
B&K ST-1400II amp
Quicksilver tubed linestage
Sony CE775 SACD
MSB Link DAC
Magnepan MG-12

I'm currently using Kimber PBJ I/C's and 8TC speaker wires. The system currently has too much high end detail and not enough warmth. I think the PBJ's are the culprit (I doubt it's the electronics).

Looking for an I/C that will impart a touch of warmth/lushness. My budget is @ $100 per cable (new or used).

Look for a used pair of Cardas Quadlink 5C interconnects, which should be available in your price range. These will add some warmth, without loss of detail.

Other than Nordost, I have never know a cable to cause "too much high end." Try the $99 for 1 m. RS Audio Cables. They offer a 30 trial. I think they are truly exceptional and better than most $2k and above cables. I have two pairs thus far.

A properly shielded cable will likely help, as suggested by other inmates. Sounds like EMI/RFI emissioms from equipment/surrounding. The PBJs does not seem to be properly shielded.
Good luck.
