Suggestions for making SILVER work in system?

Wondering if anyone has any suggestions in regards to silver inteconnects, and related for my system?...or any system?
Here's the deal...I just tried switching out the interconnects( to silver) from between my source components and my preamp(s), and I noticed and instant whopping increase in resolution and clarity!!!...WOW! anyway, the only problem is that the system now seems untaimably zippy and bright on the top (a little to much for comfort/listenablitly). I'm really trying to figure out how I can keep using these "higher rez" silver cables (Harmonic Pro Silway II) in my current system, while keeping the balance up top under control (just not listenable for long this way).
My pressent system is Sonus Faber Electa Amators, Threshold T-200 solid state amp, Pass L preamp (and Audible Illusions tube preamp, which i switch out), Harmonic Tech copper speaker wires/interconnects, and various source components.
Should I try different components? Thanks for any input

HI Zexxtool

I use Harmonic Tech Pro Silway II also. It is quite revealing but warm - not edgy. It does take over 300 hours to burn in sufficiently. Cardas Golden Reference is a good cable to tame shrill top ends, I use that between pre and power amp. I used Silver Audio Hyacinth, and had to return it as it was too bleached sounding, very revealing, but a headache on the high end.

Not sure if your Preamp is the culprit here. What are you using for a front end? I recently went to a an EVS Millenium II and the high freq digital Chash has been nicely removed without any lack in resolution.
