Powercord to tame brightness and add musicality

OK Warren, your up. Nickt says he already has dedicated lines, a power conditioner and components that he doesn't want to change. He's looking for suggestions for more musical sound and less brightness.

What do you recommend? Sunglasses?

He doesn't say what kind of cabling he's using. Yo! Nickt! What kind of cabling are you using?!

If you like the Krell stuff and want to keep it, try Cardas cables and Shunyata power cords. If they don't help you, nothing will, short of replacing the Krell gear.

Or maybe warren just enjoys being a butthole. peole such as yourself add so much to these forums.

You might give a GNSC PASI unit a try. It will eliminate some glare and edge that comes out of the CDP, at least that's been my experience. Only down side, you'll need a another pair of interconnects.

After buying the Anaconda, you could try various combak harmonix products, like cones for componenst and speakers and the Reymo 777 als line conditioner. These are designed to make more elegant, refined, less edgy sound. (Trying them in my own system - Wilson Benesch and mark levinson electronics - I found that they make too much good for my taste and for my relatively polite speakers. But if your line conditioner is a hydra, changing that with an ALS 777 might do the business) Also you can try play with the acoustic system resonators. I recently played with them, and they are also able to shift the sound of the system to a given direction. You really need contact their closest dealer and to see what would help you. Maybe combination of basic and silver resonators would help.

"short of replacing Krell gear" You said it,not me. Now you're talking. Sometimes that's the plain ole audiophoolish truth. Can be a little painful, but no power cord is going to set you free with that brightness problem. I thought that point was clearly made. That's the sarcasm behind my post. Thin skin you got there, AF5228....Butthole? Thanks for thinking of me...peace, warren
