Hegel Viking sound


I just purchased a Hegel Viking CD player. I am breaking it in and at about 100 hours. It is vocal forward and the trebel is not bright but to close for my comfort. Looking for ideas to tame it.

LOL like a picture is going to help.....
 

In your case a picture won’t help.
but in case of OP it might help understand the potential root cause. 
 

Also… SR Foundation, when I tried them in my system, sounded brighter than I can tolerate. If I’m not mistaken there is silver in these cables. 
So that’s potentially one of the reasons.

Prolly how it sounds over there  in Valhalla....

If your amp has tone controls, use it or get a Schii Lokius EQ and adjust to taste.
