My Jot R runs a little hot, but nothing crazy. I run them XLR in and the volume anywhere from 11-2 (depending on where I put the volume on my preamp at)

In balanced mode that's pretty loud with many recordings of mine.
I had a nordost Tyr, normally awesome but too tipped up and swapped out to a blue jeans XLR better but the kimber kcag hit the spot. The tyr had acoustic guitar initial attack as too sharp and the kimber sounded much more natural.Interesting. Saw some posts here about taming the treble and mids by changing the xlr cable between the source to the Jotunheim R or the headphone cable itself.
for those who considers their treble to be just right (not bright or harsh) can you tell me what brand/make your interconnect is?
I’d like to try some changes.

And, for $150 bucks that little Loki is an interesting tool, but while I’m evaluating cables I avoid using it. As always, less is more and that hope that I can settle on a one piece of wire to get me where I want to be sound wise is desirable. I’ve always and already got too much on my plate where this hobby is concerned, but that’s the “audiophile experience”, LOL!
The only 2 aftermarket brands of SR1a specific cable I’ve heard of and heard so far are YFS and Moon Black Dragon (just acquired).
Wow darTZeel color me jealous!! Must sound fantasticOnly one interconnect cable (from Grandioso cd player to darTZeel integrated): rca Nordost Odin.
I have the premium black dragon. I have not specifically spent time a/b ing with the stock cable, but I don’t hear any big differences, but I do think the treble is a little less hit with the moon cable. FWIW, I am not a big cable sound discerner. The moon cable sounds good for me.Only one interconnect cable (from Grandioso cd player to darTZeel integrated): rca Nordost Odin.
