The current cables in my system are doing fine. I'm just curious if there are other cables which are capable of giving a slight boost or sparkle to the treble without going overboard.
Cables to Add Brightness
I was just wondering which cables will bring the largest impact in adding brightness to the upper midrange and treble? Power cord, interconnects (XLR) or speaker cables.
Next, any recommendations? I am aware that silver plated copper or solid silver tend to do better than all copper. If this is true, what are the brightest sounding cables you have tried which managed to add more sparkle and treble extension to your system?
By the way, I am referring to all the good aspects of brightness ie. sweet, airy, 3-dimensional, tube-like glow and extended treble.
Not negative aspects of brightness such as brittle, hard, glassy or distorted type of treble which sounds like tin can.
I would appreciate any thoughts or experience.

Thanks for all responses. @lak current cables in the main system Acrolink 8N-A2080III Evo XLR interconnect
The Wireworld Silver Electra 7 power cord has just completed the burn in process and it sounds slightly more dynamic and brighter than the Elektra 7 which is a good thing. I’ve also installed the Platinum Starlight 8 into the system yesterday and didn’t hear any noticeable difference. Just today after about 10 hours, the sound has changed and opened up nicely. The treble now sounds lit and tube-like, full of energy. Piano sounds very nice. I’m not sure if it’s fully burned in but will swap the old USB cable (Tellurium Q Silver Ultra) back to the system sometime next week for a final judgment. As you can see, the new Wireworld cables were selected for their silver content, and I am glad that they are sounding the way I wanted it to be. Although I’m not expecting any big change or miracles with these new cables especially the USB cable, I am stunned, and happy.
