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.

The Golden cross Speaker cables are used cables . Surely they don'yt need 300 ours .?

Grey9hound: In my opinion---no, and I've previously owned both Cardas Golden Cross and Golden Reference.

Look for interconnects made with OCC copper or OCC silver, with teflon dielectric and gold- or silver-plated copper connectors. No brass. Some Neotech cables fit the bill, and Neotech is found in many high-end interconnects. Personally, I don't care for Cardas.

Grey9hound & Tls49,
I think you may need try a pair of Solo Crystal Oval. They are in your price range Grey9hound and they are hard not to love. Try them...you'll hear what I mean. You want great dynamics and bass slam correct? I use them between amp and preamp, as well as source to preamp. Sound best after a few days playing in your system. If you don't like them, they are easy to resell. Have fun!

Waxwaves, Its funny that you say that . I am in the process of acquiring some of those . The deal should be done today . I will use them between the CD Player and Pre,first . If I really like them , i will try some from pre to amp. Thanks you .

Late to the thread - jmcgrogan is absolutely right, I have tried looms before and was never as satisfied as mixing cables.
