Sound shaping recommendation with Bryston 4BSST

I wouldn't say the Bryston is bright, maybe overly neurtal. ;-)
That does not mean that with certain speakers and rooms the treble won't be like shards of glass.

I warmed up my system with a pair of Harmonic technology truth link cables between cd and preamp.

You have lots of things to try before you give up and go for new equipment.

Point the speakers straight ahead (no toe in)
Change IC between cd and pre and pre to amp (warm cable)
Change tubes in the T200
Cloth wall hangings w/acoustic foam behind can tame the room.
For the short term, tape two sheets of tolit paper in front of the tweeters.

Don't give up.

Hey, that TP idea is great. We could start a whole new thread...single or two ply, quilted or flat. Seriously though, I'm going to try it. Thanks.

I'm running an older 4B(NRB) soon to be upgraded. I found the same thing with digital. Running a PD-65 Elite via a BP-20. Started playing with cables recently and they do help. One last not, DON'T use silver cable with the Bryston...At least not between power and pre. A good friend of mine who is a dealer for Bryston told me this. Good luck!

Several members have mentioned switching cables, so I picked up a pair of Harmonic Technology Truth interconnects on Nikturner's advice and will try those. I also think I need to switch out my current XLR Balanced pre/pro interconnects with Harmonic Tech Truth. Anyone have a lead on where to pick up a pair at a reasonable price other than waiting for a used pair to surface on Audiogon? I need a 1.5 meter pair.

FYI...checked out Outlaw Audio PCA cables. They're made using copper wire manufactured exactly as Harmonic Tech Truth cables and from the photos on the Outlaw Audio website, the connectors look to be functionally identical as well. They cost 1/5 as much as HT Truths. Anyone have experience with the Outlaw PCA's?
