TUBE-BOXING CLEVER

摘要

I've got a system with a tummy ache! I'm running a Rega Planar 25 turntable through a Pathos Classic One amplifier into B&W DM601 speakers. This shouldn't be disastrous, but my ancillaries include a Clearaudio Smart phono stage, van den Hul hybrid speaker cables and QED Silver Spiral interconnects. The overall result is that I find the treble sounds on the harsh side. Anything pushing that register, for example Joni Mitchell vocals or some Dizzy Gillespie horn playing, sounds quite raspy. In a word, I find it all too 'bright' and without much warmth.
