Reference 3A Decapo "i" sounds shrilly

Help!My systems sound too bright
Hi Samual. I have a Bel Canto pre amp that had amperex tubes. I changed to telefunken tubes and the difference was absolutely remarkable. My system went from an edgey bright sound to a lush warm balanced sound. Go figure. Good Luck Harvey 
Speaker suggestions for Plinius, Muse...
I'm using the plinius sa 100 mk3 on a pair of apogee stages. They have the command and authority I was missing from the BEL 1001 mk3. I found the plinius a bit dry, lean egdy and analytical however nicely detailed and very balanced throughout the ...
