What??? You sold your NAD's???? J/K. I agree with Tvad, can you remember when the system started sounding disagreeable. It's hard to nail down the real culprit when there have been so many wholesale changes at one time. I also don't think that cables can make that big of a difference, they are more of a tweak, then for fixing big problems. That being said, I'm only familiar with your cables, I haven't had the opportunity to listen to any of your components/speakers. In my experiences, DH Lab cables tend to be forward and unforgiving, they can sound bright in some systems. I can also say that I agree with Ozfly. I'm not a fan of MIT cables, but they sound their best in bright systems. If you cannot trace the brightness to a particular component, maybe trying some MIT/Cardas/Transparent cable instead of your DH Labs may help. I may make it listenable, but probably won't make it warm and lush.
