Here are the other sources in my system: Rega Planet CD via truth-links to a Continuum Audio Window pre (built by Coda/Innersound) via truth-links to the SFS-40. I don't think it's the Window, I can't identify any sonic signature to it other than "neutral". Ears more trained than mine will call the Planet digitally harsh, but I find it to sound very dithered and somewhat analog-ish. Great suggestions everyone, thanks so much for posting.
speaker cables with a warm sound
I was hoping to get some suggestions on speaker cables that have a dark, warm presentation. I am running a pair of NHT VT-1.2's. They are fairly revealing in my system and are punishingly bright with brightly recorded software. My ears are VERY sensitive to high frequencies and can quickly become fatigued with bright material. I have changed out my interconnects to Harmonic Technology Truthlinks because of their warmer sonics. That helped a lot. I think the addition of dark, warm speaker cables will get me where I want to be. Right now I am biwiring with a shotgun array of Music Metre Signature (4 single runs per speaker). The associated amp is a Sonic Frontiers SFS-40 (6922/KT-90), but I have a pair of SFM-160 monoblocks (6922/6550) on the way. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
