Cable suggestion


My set up is:

PC to Ayre QB9 (regular USB)
Ayre QB9 to Audio Research LS-25 mk2 (Cardas Golden Ref XLR)
Audio Research LS-25 mk2 to Audio Research DS450m (Cardas Clear Light XLR)
ARC DS450m to Gallo Ref 3.1 or Harbeth SHL5 (Morrow Audio SP4)

The sound is little bright.
What can I do to tame the brightness.
Thanks.

Waxwaves,
Your suggestion is something I've never considered.
If I get a new DAC with s/pdif input (not too distant future), I will certainly explore getting a quality sound card. Do you have a personal favorite brand/model of PC soundcard?
Thanks for your suggestion.

Jmcgrogan2,
Oh ok, I didn't know Golden Cross is warmer than the refs. I will certainly try aforementioned cables next time I get a chance.
Your suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Williewonka,
You know, I am using the stock power cable for Ayre.
I was thinking about getting better power cable(s) and give Ayre the try first.
Thanks for sharing your experience!

Al,
I've read numerous AG posts and have to admit most of my audio knowledge is from helpful postings from members like you.
Thank you for taking your time to share your thoughts and experiences.
I will certainly implement suggestions.

Hope you have good TG weekend!

Jay
