Any ic/speaker cable suggestion Tyler Linbrook


I have the Linbrook Signature (2 piece system) and currently using Analysis Plus Oval 8 speaker cable and Solo crystal ic. It felt like the sound is just too warm for my taste. The bass is there but i cannot appreciate the mids/highs, it felt like its missing. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

My system:
Blue Circle BC3000 MKII preamp
Consonance Droplet CD player
H20 S250 (Signature)

In the FWIW department - I've been using Tylers (1 Piece) Linbrook system for about 18 months - this is not a cold antiseptic sounding speaker, in fact in comparison to earlier speakers I have used, its a bit warm in the upper bass/lower mid-range. I've found the upper mid's/highs very detailed but not bright in any fashion HOWEVER I don't think you get the best out of these speakers without close attention to set up. Listening well off axis in an over dampened room will produce a dullish sound. If you have not already done so try toeing your speakers in so that the axis crosses just behind your head.

The FWIW part - be sure you have maximized set up possibilities before you start changing cables. For the most part cable changes should not result in large changes in frequency response. I don't know enuf about your amp to make a recommendation, but in my experience if you want some speaker cable that will definitely spotlight the mids and highs try some Nordost or some similar type. I use Cardas IC and some short runs of Canare Star Quad but that probably wouldn't work for you.

How are you enjoying your Droplet - I was looking at that with some interest.
