Simaudio Moon Equinox integration problem.


I've recently added the Simaudio Equinox to my system. My problem is I now have too much high frequency content. I am running the Equinox into the Simaudio I-5 integrated amplifier feeding a pair of Totem Hawks. All of these units are noted for being quick / fast but none of them (at least by themselves) are noted for being shrill or overemphasising the high frequencies, but that is what I have. The sound seems clean, not distorted, but just too much high frequencies. I am wondering if this is an interconnect issue? My interconnects are Prolink, which I picked up used, and I think they are pretty cheap.
I'd like to hear from anyone has successfully integrated the Equinox into a similar system what they recommend for interconnects...what has worked for them. So if you have a good system based on similar equipment what did it for you? I'd really like your help. Thanks

How long have you broken in the Equinox?

You really need to give it a few hundred hours. (and I agree about the power cords-also need to be broken in).

Do you use a power coditioner?
It can be a broad spectrum but what you described is something that I have experienced with burn in of a cd player. My Esoteric took bout 1200 hours to break in - highs were pretty bright and now sounds awesome.
