As I posted elsewhere I'am considering getting the X-Can V2.
I've had the amp for about 5 days now and did quite some listening.
Now what bothers me is that the system (MarantzCD6000OSEand HD600) now is a bit overbright for my tastes. There is a peak at the high mids which makes female voices sound screamy and somethimes sibilant. Currently I use van den Hul D102 III interconnects. These are fantastic cables, very neutral, but they also allow for the X-Can to unleash its brightness.
So, here is the question, can you recommend a cable that can tame this without killing the fine instrument separation of the amp. I'am a bit reluctant to do so since I'll allways know that the cable is coloured, but on the other hand I'll take it as a system fine tuning.
I'd also be pleased to hear to what extent tube rolling can calm the X.-Can down.
