Newbie Needs Help

I have a Bal Canto Evo 2i, a Cary 303/200 and JM Lab Chorus S speakers. I know my speakers are the weak link but I don't have the wallet for a substantial upgrade at this point in time.

I like the bass and mid that I get from the setup but the highs are a little too harsh and bright. I'm using a very old set of MIT 750 S3 speaker cables and stock power cords. I do not have a power conditioner.

Does anyone have any recommendations for cables or power options that may relieve the harshness that I'm getting from the top end, without adding to what I already think are quality mids and lows?

Thanks for any suggestions,
Scott

I'm just using some cheap monster cables right now as interconnects. Forgot to mention that I was looking for recommendations for those as well.

Thanks,
Scott

Please let us know which interconnects you're using between the Cary and the Bel Canto.

Try copper cables. This may sound strange but just go down to a Home Depot or a like store and purchase solid copper cable in a thickness that reflects the power or current of your amp, twist the single wires together using about 2 twists per inch,less for thick wire, to bind the pair. Try them out. If you dont like them you can pitch them with a nominal loss. If you like them then try the "Clear Sound" coppers with the copper terminations, I think they advertise them on Audiogon. Or keep them and use a good copper termination.
