Interconnect to tame bright sounding CDP

If (especially after reading these posts) you want to hear what your Carey is supposed to sound like, I highly recommend the Harmonix Golden Performance ICs. I realize they are more than you want to spend, but if you can swing/rationalize (we audiophools have been here before, yes?) them, they will, allow your cdp to happen. Sounds like you should be hearing wonderful things from your cdp. The Harmonix will do it, BIG TIME. You may never need another IC again. Since they are so new, you never see them used. Probably won't for a long while. They are that good. peace, warren

You need an aftermarket powercord such as Virtual Dynamics, as well as many other great ones to consider.

I am currently using Van Den Hul D102 MkIII cables.
I've read somewhere that they can be bright sounding though I dont' really know. I appreciate all your feedbacks.

Andy, I have the same VdH ICs from my phono stage to amp. They are not at all "bright" in my opinion. What is the rest of your system? Amp, speakers, speaker cables?

If your room is acoustically bright, you should look for room treatment. Cardas is usually more laid-back and good for bright system.
