Is your power clean? Are you using any kind of power conditioning and/or dedicated circuits?
I’m not familiar with Silnote products. Generally speaking, better quality cabling tends to expose weaknesses in the system - especially dirty, noisy power. Dirty power typically manifests itself in ’etched’ high frequencies and ’boomy, ill-defined’ low frequencies. It’s most observable when a female vocalist hits a high note with fortissimo. No recording engineer would allow that kind of distortion on a master. Lesser quality cabling tends to mask/mute those issues.
Most major improvements in my system have occurred when addressing the power supply and delivery.
