Just to put my two cents in. I too think it might be the sony. Have you tried an RFI filter on your powercord? Try it. Buy a Shakti on-line, or AudioQuest clamp on rfi filter, or some comparable brand. Install it on the powercord just at the base of the sony, It will knock that digital edge off of your sony.
So YOU can't hear a difference in cables
I do.
I have a set of Van Den Hul the Seconds They get rid of the digtal glare and edge. They are non fatiguing to listen to.
They sound full and lush but give up some detail and soundstage. I can listen to them indefinitely.
My Au24's are more holographic, have better soundstage, detail in spades, but there is that digital edge and glare.
My silver interconnects sound good but tizzy on the top end. They are out.
Day in and day out give me the Van Den Hul the Seconds, no fatigue, but oh I want the detail and soundstage of the AU24's.
If you suffer from that digital glare or edge get the vandys.
I find that the louder the music the more that the cables matter. I find that cables "tune the sound".
Anyone have a suggestion for an interconnect that fits my bill at a reasonable price?
