......sometimes the cabling IS the source of the brightness, due to untamed resonances (read: vibrations) in a particular cable design (i.e., most). And as far as "exceptionally bright sound" coming out of one's speakers....it's not always the speakers fault, either. I proved that just the other week with an expensive new Lowther-based speaker I heard at a friend's....it was the cabling (please e-mail me privately about this).But I agree with you wholeheartedly about the use of wood as a cable support. I've posted about that very thing on AA before and on SoundStage, even recommending shoeboxes for a very cheap fix, rather than the "dreaded plastic". I use Gaboon ebony myself.

Hi Alan,Good to see you posting here. I agree with you that's why I used the words "exceptionally bright sound" coming from the speakers implying that perhaps bright cables (or some other component) could be the source. And, I feel the best way to deal with this type of problem is to deal with the "source" -- the cable (or component) itself, in your example. You've definitely got my vote on wood as cable supports.
Best wishes to you,
Jim
