Best copper ICs I've ever heard were Kimber KS 1011. In my system I preferred them over Harmonic Tech Magic Link II (my experience with their sound mirrors yours) and Cardas Golden Cross (too far down the other end of the spectrum - way too tame, again on my system). You may wish to try something more neutral with better overall balance - the KS 1011 provided this for me. Clarity without hyped high freqs., without grain, and wonderfully neutral tone. (Disclaimer - I am selling a pair at the moment.)
Interconnects for Bryston BCD-1 & B60R combo
I'm looking for an interconnect to go between the Bryston BCD-1 CD player & the Bryston B60R Integrated amp. I'm not happy with the RCA pair of Harmonic Tech Magic Link II I'm now using. While some discs sound nice, most sound too detailed and hard sounding for my tastes. I'm looking for a minor softening up of the mids & highs while retaining the detail. Can the BCD-1 be tamed? I'm not looking to replace the power cord just yet. Thanks for your help!
