What cables can lower my forward treble.
I have a Hegel Viking CD player and Cary SLP 05 pre amp and Pilnius SB-301 amp and Synergistic Research Foundation xl wires and cables. What could I replace in cables to lower hi frequency energy.
With moving magnet phono cartridges where the capacitance acts as a high pass filter and accentuates the treble. It's best to keep the total capacitance between the phono cartridge along with the preamp's input under 220pf in most cases. |
There are no cables in existence that can do what you're asking. Physics and the. science of sound prevent something like that from being plausible. If you don't like the sound of your speakers, you need to work on room acoustics, placement, EQ, or just buy different speakers. No amount of money spent on snake oil cables will work. |
Your high freq maybe emphasized due to laid back mid-freq. Make sure what you need is changing a cable. As a reference, below sounds well balanced. MAGNEPAN 2.7i / HEGEL Viking Below is Wavetouch speaker cable and mid is forward. Alex/Wavetouch audio |
@12many You are the right. Adding capacitance reduces high frequencies. It is the basis of passive crossover designs. |
