If you have any silver in your interconnects or speaker cable try something else... Cardas or anything else before changing the hardware. Also put you Preamp on some sorbothane footers or vibrapods. Do the same for you CD player.
Sound shaping recommendation with Bryston 4BSST
I am using a new Bryston 4BSST/BP25 combo with a Shanling T200 CD player and Aerial 7B speakers. Unfortunately, I'm not hearing the creamy smoothness I was hopinng to get with the Shanling tube CD player. At high volumes, the treble is like shards of crushed ice in my ears. So...any suggestions? Is it a question of replacing the BP25? Help...many $$$ spent, and no audio nirvana yet.
