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.

Thanks for the nice comments. Dad used to say the same thing, John! Well, it takes one to know one John. Ain't that right Keith?! You all seem to be gentlemen as well as deans list audio scholars!

Like you, I let my stereophile subscription lapse. The forums are a much better source for me. It's like I have my very own commitee to consult with! That's you guys!!!

Working hard, yes! Long hours too. Springtime remodeling is underway here! The good news is that a fellow in Raliegh has a SMcAudio Gold edition DNA-1 Deluxe that I am drooling over! Trying hard to put together the funds!

@Waxwaves, I probably went to school with your Dad. LOL!!

I always thought McCormack amps were great bang for the buck amps. I've never had the opportunity to listen to one of his pimped up units though. I'll bet he can really design a mean amp when the purse strings are loosened!!
Good luck, I hope it falls in your lap!!
