I've been upgrading my system and am wondering whether speaker cables will help reduce some of the brightness.
I'm using a B&K Pre-amp in bypass mode to a B&K St-140 amp. My turntabe is an HK T65C with a bluepoint high output MC cartridge. CD player is a Rotel RCD-970bx. I'm using Tara Labs Axiom and prime interconnects throughout. My speakers are Klipsch Forte and I'm just using stranded 10gauge monster ripcord for speaker cables.
Would some kind of higher tech speaker cable tone things down a bit or do I need to go elsewhere? My turntable, while detailed and airy, is pretty bright on upper register piano/flute music. The Rotel does a pretty good job smoothing things out. I recently went from a grado cartridge (which seemed to have some issues) to the bluepoint which is more detaled but brighter as well.
I also have the option, from a dealer friend of mine, to purchase some Audes Soul speakers for $700 with RSC 1000 cables. Anyone have any comments on the tonal character of the Audes? I've only heard them on his system from a Mac tube setup and they're very sweet driven from the Mac. But from My St-140 I wonder whether they'll be bright like the Klipsh's.
