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.

I am not sure what CD Player you are using but before you go out and purchase all of these cables, it is much easier to sell your current CD Player and purchase a used one here on Audiogon. You can pick up several great players in the $250-$450 range (used) that will sound great and not harsh or bright. (Ah Tjoeb, Micromega, Marantz)

There is no getting around a bad component. Replace it and then pick your cables. Cables do have sonic signatures but they cannot cure bad sound. Just make good sound better.

My 2 Cents for what it is worth...
