Kill Top End Extension - All Silver Ribbon Cables

Hi Guys,

I have a system were ALL the Interconnects and Speaker cables are all Pure Silver Based Ribbons from PSC Audio. http://www.pscaudio.com/ Would any of you know, whether this would be a BAD idea, if my current system is a tube based setup. I guess I'm wondering if this whats killing the top end extension in the music. ie. the nice shimmer on the cymbals. I've changed all the tubes on the pre-amp and the Amp is only about 2 weeks old. Furthermore, the pencil valves on the CD player have also just been replaced.

System Configuration
Amp: 13E1 Tube Monoblocks
Pre-Amp - Supratek Sauvignon
CD Player - Audio Aero Capitole MKII
Interconnect: CD to Pre - PSC Custom Pure Silver Ribbons (1 mtr)
Interconnect: Pre to Power PSC Custom Pure Silver Ribbons (2 mtr)
Speaker Cables: PSC Custom Pure Silver Ribbons (2 Mtrs)

Many Thanks to all that reply...

Thanks for your response to date.

I'm currently using a pair of Osborn Epitome Reference with the extra bass units.

FREQUENCY RESPONSE of Speakers

Grand Epitomes 20 to 20000 Hz. Tweeter accuracy throughout operating range +0/-1db. Usable bass to 8 Hz.

CROSSOVER POINTS 125 Hz and 3500 Hz @ 12 db/Octave. Bass Unit @ 60 Hz.
MINIMUM IMPEDANCE 5.8 Ohm. With Bass Unit 3.9 Ohm.
REC. MAXIMUM POWER 200 Watts R.M.S per Channel.
REC. MINIMUM POWER 10 Watts R.M.S per Channel.

If the Interconnects are also Ribbons, this must make a difference to the highs. It's the complete combination. I'm going to plug my original copper based speakers cables back and check to see if discernable difference is obvious. Will Keep you posted...

Regards,
Viren

I suppose many of you are correct in saying the equipment just needs to burn in a little. I'm guessing if the SET amps are using the V-Cap capacitors, the waiting period may be even longer. Does anyone know the characteristics of V-Caps as they are burning in?

I'm also concerned about this oscillating problem when potentially using Ribbon based cabes in SET tube amps.
