I agree that Dueland cable might tame the harshness you are hearing. I don't see a preamp in your system, and if you are on a tight budget, I would heartily advocate hearing a Schiit Freya preamp with the tubes upgraded to Shaguan 6SN7 tubes and you will get taste of audio splendor. The next and final step would be a Don Sachs preamp. :-) Consider room treatments as well.
recommendation for speaker wire to soften the highs if possible
Hello,
I need help. My problem is my system sounds harsh on the highs to me. Not extremely bad, but enough that I need to fix it. My system consists of Ryan 610's, oppo Sonica Dac, and a Belles 150a hotrod amp. Speaker wires being used are old monster cable from the 90's. I also have monster cable rca. I mostly stream through Tidal. My question is can I make the desired effect by switching cables or should I add a tube amp or pre amp. My budget on the wire would be around 300.00
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
