Shrill high frequencies


I recently added an Isotek power conditioner to my system. Everything improved with one quibble; the highest frequencies are a bit bright for my taste. I'd be grateful if someone could suggest a workaround that doesn't entail replacing any components. Perhaps cables?

The solution was to plug the Isotek into an Audioquest Power line 2 with a Nordost QRT inserted.

Thanks to all for sharing your mighty brains and happy listening!

At your suggestion I changed the power cord from that provided to Shunyata Delta. No joy. Maybe break-in time will help.
