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.

Pops, and you never will. There never is any consensus on anything. That is not uncommon in mankind and does make way for advertising, fancy packaging, etc. I post as much as possible only about my personal experiences. Once in a while there are technical questions.

Yes, it is still fun for me, but I do take offense at self-proclaimed experts. Science has no experts and no authorities.

The High Fidelity Cables are quite unusual as the rest on a conductor that is not normally considered for wire. And they sound quite different from all other ics and speaker wires I have heard. With their CT-1 Ultimates I am getting a realism I had never heard before. Are they the best in the world? How would I know? If you don't take of an opportunity to hear them, you are missing something unique.

Hello Gentlemen...Is there a hater on our thread? He could be buddies with Irv, Lol!

Hessec must have one hesseck of a setup if he thinks the Tara Labs cables mentioned are just another drop in the bucket! Maybe he did not give those jewels enough time to burn in with his high end equipment?? 300 hours, come on now! Maybe he hooked them up backwards?!? OR, Maybe he needs to try the $2 hydrogen peroxide treatment? LOL!

This person is obviously bored with his system or he wouldn't be dogging' our buddy Audiolab on the forum, he'd be listen to some good tunes on his awesome stereo.

@ Waxwaves, Thankyou Adam for coming to my defence here, I do not know Hessecs motive!, whatever, He said goodbye, I believe! you would be supprised that alot of people would make claims based on there experience with a lessor model I/C or speaker cables,, then believe the top two models of the line of a cable company they are reffering to will have the same outcome!, 9 times out of 10 the best two models of a cable company are indeed a different animal of cables all together!, A different league!,,I agree!, The Taralabs zero gold,, omega gold are some of the best available today!, cheers!
