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.

Ltkije,

Which tube pre did you go with and what others did you consider before you purchased it?

Hey, that TP idea is great. We could start a whole new thread...single or two ply, quilted or flat. Seriously though, I'm going to try it. Thanks.

Several members have mentioned switching cables, so I picked up a pair of Harmonic Technology Truth interconnects on Nikturner's advice and will try those. I also think I need to switch out my current XLR Balanced pre/pro interconnects with Harmonic Tech Truth. Anyone have a lead on where to pick up a pair at a reasonable price other than waiting for a used pair to surface on Audiogon? I need a 1.5 meter pair.

FYI...checked out Outlaw Audio PCA cables. They're made using copper wire manufactured exactly as Harmonic Tech Truth cables and from the photos on the Outlaw Audio website, the connectors look to be functionally identical as well. They cost 1/5 as much as HT Truths. Anyone have experience with the Outlaw PCA's?

Anyone have experience with either a VAC Standard or Supratek Syrah preamp mated with a Bryston amp?
