Getting rid of harsh, shrill treble

Regalmal,
I spent $127 on a Taddeo device that goes between my Jupitor CD player and my tube integrated amp. The harsh, shrill treble is still there. Do you think this Magenta thing really works? Have you tried one in your system? I logged onto the Magenta site and read the Knutson review, apparently Stereophile gave it a good review as well. I don't want to drop another $250 into my playback system with little or no results. I am not buying anymore CD's unless they are audiophile quality. I think I am beginning to believe that the source is way more important than the playback equipment. The problem is that there is such a small selection of classical orchestral works in the audiophile quality CD market, I am talking about JVC xrcd's and Mobile Fidelity, etc. The only online stores that I have been able to find are Acoustic Sounds and Audiophileresource. Do you know of any other sites that sell classical audiophile CD's?
Thanks.

I am running Walsh 5 Series 3 loudspeakers. The one thing I changed that finally tamed the upper octave like nothing else was switching to, get this, solid core .9999 silver wire, teflon insulated. I've always thought cable guys were kooks - but this cable does violin partials, cymbals and everything else above 10khz just right. I'm using a 12 foot run, which round trip (24') has a DC resistance of 0.12 Ohms (measured). Really, try it: you will be amazed ay how it eliminated high frequency hash.

mamboni, What is the brand of cable? How much did they cost?

Eldartford,
Thanks for the info. Have you purchased any of the Blue Line CD's from artsmusic.de? I was wondering if they sound as good as xrcd24's.
