Interconnect with great dynamics and bass slam ,


I recently purchased some Cardas Golden cross sepaker cables. They replaced my Dh Lab Q10s. I replaced the Q10s because i was getting some upper mid freq brightness.
I have Golden Cross interconnects from preamp to amp and from cd player to pre amp. The sound is very smooth and detailed .The bass and mid bass is not as authorative or as tight. The highs are better - more detailed and smooth.
The problem is the sound is almost too smooth the bass is kind of rounded off now .The sound is less dynamic.
My Question is.
Is there an interconnect that could give me back that great bass and dynamics of that i had with the Q10s, without the harshness i was getting. I think i would like to keep the Golden Cross speaker cables and try changing the ICs. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

If it were me, I would put the DH Labs cable back in the system and return the Cardas. Otherwise you will end up spending a lot of money and probably still won't be completely satisfied.
My experiences have been very similar to JMcgrogan's, with a mix of brands always giving me my preferred type of sound. I would suggest getting in touch with The Cable Company and auditioning the JPS Superconductor 3 interconnect. Based on what you want to stay with, I think it might just give you the kind of balance you seek.
Jmcgrogan2 is a seasoned audiophile,I would consider his recommendations for cables!and I do agree with mt10425,we need to know what you are working with to give you an accurate recommendation. cheers!
I agree with Jmcgrogan on mixing cables. I have found best for my system is what he has found. That said I would add to i/cs recommendation Jps labs superconductor and AAD incredibles diamond.
I had similar issues with brightness. Now I use all Analysis Plus speaker & ic cable, except for a pair of Discovery Essence sending signal from my Bottlehead phono amp. This has created what I believe is cable synergy in my McCormack/Hales system. The sound is now well balanced from top to bottom and just sounds "right" to me. Good luck with you setup!
