Cables to mitigate CD glare -upper mids/lower hi's

Newbee, I would like to hear more about how you hook up the tone control, and what model you use. I would like to do this if it can be done for $500 or less.

If your preamp has a tape loop you simply connect the equalizer/tone controls to the designated RCA's of the back of the pre amp. When you want to hear the source thru the equalizer you turn on the tape monitor. Check your pre-amp manual. As for recommendations - EBay has lots and they are not too expensive. I'd be inclined to buy one of the older higher quality types as opposed to a new "named brand". It may take a bit of research on your part. As I recall Audio Control made some fairly good quality equalizers for 250 to 350 bucks, 1980's money. I've seen them for advertised for sale for 150 to 200. If you can get a good one they are a good value. Good luck.

Harmonic Technology Truthlinks or MIT 330. The Truthlinks are a little more revealing, the MIT more forgiving.

try a pair of the cardas hexlink or cardas cross/ golden cross between the cd to pre. they are very warm sounding and will add body and bass.

hope that helps...

what are you using for a pre-amp ?
