Are silver cables best for my system????


Right now I am running Kimber KCAG's I have extensively burnt them in. I ran them a week in a cable burner. They mellowed out a bit. My system is as follows. Shanling mod 1+ from Parts Connexion. Adcom 750 preamp. Bryston 4BSST amp. Accoustech PH1 Premium. Acoustic Sig Final tool with Graham 2.2 with silver Kimber phonocable. Tandberg 3014A. And a PS Audio P1000 power plant. Transparent speaker cables ($1400) dont know which model. And PSB Stratus Gold speakers. My system has a lot of detail but lacks some warmth. Are my cables too good for my system??????? Are they revealing the flaws of my less than A+ components??? Any help appreciated. Thanks

Some basic and obvious things you may or may not have done.
1. Speaker placement: move them around especially distance from the back wall, some positions will increase bass thereby changing the voicing of your system.
2. Room treatment - Lots of hard surfaces, glass, hardwood floors, etc? Try some wall hangings, drapes or dedicated audio absorbent panels.

Although KCAG is a pretty good cable they are what, a 8 year old design. I found wire world gold reference to be less harsh - not really warmer just less emphasis on that upper mid, lower tweet range that emphasizes hard and bright. The WW are not cheap.

I am not personally familiar with the Adcom 750 but I'm guessing it's somewhat outclassed by the rest of your system.

Can you borrow equipment from fellow audiphiles to identify the "culprit"?
