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.

Jmcgrogan2, I'm sympathetic with you but think it is over the top to reach your conclusion. This last weekend a friend and I spent about five hours with three Acoustic Energizers and four StillPoints Ultra Fives seeking the benefits of these when strategically placed. Last evening we sat down and thoroughly enjoyed the realism we had achieved.

The quest continues with much enjoyment as the merry-go-round does stop and we will have to get off.

@ TbG,, Wow!, you spoke wise words here, The still points, and the model ultra ss is exactly whats on my speakers!, $2,000.00 for 8 of them puppys!,, and I see you believe in tunning as I do!, Bravo TbG!, I always have stated you have my respect!,, I feel, If you achieve an unbelievable sound, and the sound is shockingly good to all that hears the system, why keep chassing the holy grail of audio when you have it!, may not be the best!, If it makes you extreamly happy, why indulge yourself and mess the sound up!,, cheers!

I'm a bit late to the party, but this weekend I just compared 4 interconnects. By far the interconnect that had best dynamics and bass slam was CRL-FIM interconnect. The bass had great articulation and realism. As someone else mentioned OCC copper is the way to go for what you are looking for.
