taming female voice


My system consists of meadowlark kestral 2's a birdland odeon lite dac run through a cheap toshiba transport and a cayin ta-30 integrated tube amp with tube audio design speaker cables and interconnects along with the same powercord. The room demensions are 11.5 wide and 14.5 long with french doors open on the long end the speakers are also firing down the longer part of the room. As far as room treatments go, all I have are some pillows stacked against the walls next to the speakers for side reflection.
My problem is that whenever I play female singers they really seem to zing my ears, that being said I dont listen quietly not stupid loud..about 9-10 o'clock on the dac. Male singers seem to not zing the ears. Please offer suggestions! Thanks

Are the speakers fully broken in yet? I know the K2's can be a bit hot on the top end until they get many hours on them...
Jolida JD-100 one box cd player. Very musical and you can find them used for around $700 or less. You will most likely either end up keeping it, or being able to resell it for close to what you paid for it.
That was the other thought... what cabling/interconnects are you using? Audience AU24 is very good at a very reasonable price.

I have been told Meadowlarks are not a good match with silver cabling as well.
Sean34,

I am sure you can find good sounding interconnects for under or near $150... I think I saw some of the Audience AU24 for around $200 for a 1m pair of interconnects.

I have auditioned this cable and it was very supprised at how well it performed against cables that were well over the $1,000 price point...

Good luck.
