For $20 buy some good quality 10W resistors from 0.1 to 1.2 Ohm rating, in 0.1 ohm increments.
I have a very reflective room with 3.6's with a Cary CDP and Rogue tube front end.
It's amazing how you can dial out just a little bit of glare that's "uncomfortable" to listen to after awhile with a little resistance. And my ear can hear the difference between them quite clearly.
This is a whole lot cheaper than trying to play with cables or amps,and I have found it to be very effective with no real downside.
Just FYI, the stock ribbon resistor is 1.5 ohms, which I found to be too high for my system. I have settled on a .82 resistor which takes out the glare but leaves the shine : )
Hope this helps...it's a cheap and easy fix and worth a try.
