How do I warm up my system?


I have a Sony 555ES, deHavilland tube preamp, Nuforce amps and SP technologies speakers. System very detailed but highs are bright and harsh.

Considering DAC and or equalizer.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

In my case an equalizer constricted the soundstage, even when in the bypass mode. I had it modified such that the bypass mode now emulates a hard wire connection, and the soundstage degradation is no longer audible for me--IF the equalizer is in the bypass mode. I'm told (by Duane, a dealer friend of mine) that the only equalizer that didn't degrade the sound was the Cello by Levinson, but it was priced at 14,000 dollars.
