I find that treble edginess is most often due to dirty power. Or should I say that the only thing that has worked for me to clean up the high octaves is to provide cleaner power to my components. Which was mainly done by getting rid of RF noise. Everything else did just as you said, sucked the shimmer and life out of the music. Its a real fine balancing trick to get it right, because something that gives you a lot of clarity seems to be either bass shy or has some sort of hole/dip in the lower octaves. Shifting it away from the highs to reduce glare or edginess does just the opposite.

I couldn't agree more! This is exactly my experience. Removing the RF noise provides the music with a "black" background that, in effect, increases the signal to noise ratio dramatically.
By what means did you rid your system of RF noise, if you please. Thanks.
I use a huge isolation transformer.
Not the same thing.
Master of the obvious?
Let's get real, OK? Most of us use isolation transformers or the rough equivalent of them by designing with quality E-I, C, and R core low transfer capacitance transformers.
The Bybee has NO easily measurable inductance or capacitance. How can it filter anything?
Hey, you are preaching to the choir! I wouldn't use a bybee if it was free. Someone asked what I used to reduce RF. I said an isolation transformer. I was agreeing with you!
Well, good!
Well, I've been using several variants of Al Sekela's parallel R-C AC filter arrays. I've also used the R-C filter arrays TI-shielded and grounded a la cdc's famous post of this tweak. And lately I've been using Alan Maher's CBFs. All work well and cumulatively and they do not impact dynamics nor roll of real musical information, they reveal it by removing the HF crap that masquerades as HF brightness, etc.
Plus I'm now experimenting with piezoelectric crystals in various places, but that may be more EMI.
What did he say?
Or it may not. Kinda depends on your mindset. :-)
Cheers
