Warm and Wet cables?

Thanks for the responses.

I'll take a look at Sonoran, XLO, and acoustic zen as well as Harmonic Technology.

Nice system SD. I think that you are right in saying that my system is fairly neurtal and it may be the accurate picture which I'm not happy with on some recordings. I didn't want to use the word 'bright' (like older adcom of NHT stuff) because that is not the problem. I've listened to bright systems and they usually sound that way on all recordings. I am focusing on the treble since on lesser recordings with poor bass I am not bothered, but sizzling hi hats makes me want to change cds.

I am actually starting to consider an EQ or tone controls, which is a big step since I'm kind of a minimalist guy when it comes to audio. Something in the tape loop would allow me to only adjust things when needed. Ideas?

I like accuracy, otherwise I wouldn't have the system that I do. Just feel like I'd be happier with things a bit more forgiving so I can enjoy more of my music collection. I guess trading off on my top 10% of recordings for the bottom 50% is what I'm getting at.

Cheers

The Harm Tech Truthlink does wonders with the top octave birdies on my MD100 tuner. A very fine cable for $125 used.
Works balanced, too, but I guess I'd still stick with Blue Heaven as a neutral pre/amp link, and soften the top only at the source, and with speaker cables, for which I'd try the remarkably-good Canare S11. Cheap and VERY popular with rec engineers.

Cardas is another brand you may want to give a listen too. They certainly do tend to be warm. Maybe give The Cable Company a call, they track folks systems and cables, so they have a good idea of what cable works well with which components. They may be able to assist you. 1-800-FATWYRE

On My system I always used XLO cables and Tara Labs. I found that Audioquest was to bright for my system and Tara was almost to laid back, But warm in my opinion, I used the Air 2's Interconnects. With XLO Speaker Cables, They very fast with excellent bass. I used there Reference Series. I think it was the 5a's.

Pass Aleph 2 Mono's
Pass Aleph Pre-amp
EMC-1 CD
XLO and Tara Cables

Sold the damn thing because I couldn't afford any good speakers. Spent to much on Cable. Thats no Joke. If your not liking what your hear , my opinion is changing out Equipment, Cables are for twicking.

Forgot to mention that my PMC ab2 speakers are 6ohm. Read a couple posts where people describe alpha core speaker cable as better with 2-4 ohm speakers.

Anyone have experience with this?
