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.

@Audiolab, satisfied??? Riding off into the sunset??? That's not so easy my friend, this disease goes much deeper than you think. The hunger NEVER ends......just ask Norm (Tbg). LOL!!

Better strap yourself in for the next few decades!! I find that even when I am perfectly happy with the sound of my system, I still peruse the for sale ads....it NEVER ends!!

As I sit here and type this right now, I'm trying to figure out how to NOT buy something that I REALLY want, but which would be financially irresponsible. LOL!!

@Jmcgrogan you are pulling me into your madness LOL!!! you have gotten me all fired up on cartridges, but I should probably upgrade the tonearm first....damn! Next the cartridge, then the phono preamp...damn!!! By then it will be time for a new preamp!!! Next, big time amps!!! DAMN!!! And then some speakers!!! Then it will be time for another cartridge....man....then a new cable, oh wait I haven't gone for my lungs yet on power cables - that will become an obsession at some point!!! And by this time with everything new and different some technology will come out that is a necessity!!!Damn!

So you see, as Jmcgrogan says it really is never over...whew! I need a cigarette!

Or, you could just move your speakers around and get a whole new sound for free :0) ....Naaah!
