Which cable will reduce harshness of CD player?

Have been experimenting with different copper and silver cables. My rig is all solid state and I find the CD source to be a little bright. Don't want to upgrade or downgrade or trade so I'm going to flavorize it with some IC's and SPKR cables. I tried the MF Nuvista Silver IC's and were too bright, but very pure, currently switching between Custom House and XLO. Going to try Cardas Quadlink next week. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

ase z-man will do the same thing as a musical fidelity x-10. this was the only way i could tolerate cd... until i got a tubed preamp! ;~)

killer cd upgrade, for less than the cost of the i/c's you're considering, is the art di/o adc/dac. check the threads here & on the aydio asylum.

i know there's a lot of "cable controversy". i agree that cabling can have a sonic impact on a system. however, i also agree w/those who say cabling should not be used to try & correct any perceived system deficiencies. get equipment that sounds good to your ears, on its own merits, regardles of cabling used. after you like the basic sound of the equipment, then, and *only* then, should you experiment w/different cabling, to fine-tune the sound. much more cost-effective, & much simpler to obtain best overall system results, imo...
