Tweaks to Add A Little Treble Emphasis...

greetings all, i'm wondering what tweaks can be done to add a little forwardness and treble emphasis to a system... Silver IC's? Specific Power Cords? i'm currently using stock cords and audio arts ic's and would like to add a little bit to the upper frequencies. amp is spectron musician 3 mk 2; preamp is aesthetix calypso with Sylvania 3M-BP 5751 and Amperex Orange Globe 6922 tubes. any suggestions? many thanks, scott Srosenberg  (Threads | Answers | This Thread) 07-11-10

It works.
