Thanks everyone! I did think about Purist, Lloyd, after once trying their ICs and being amazed by the well defined bass.
And thanks to Mr. Tennis for that honest answer that kind of confirmed my suspicions. (Maybe I'm just searching for the mythical holy grail.)
Many times I shy away from cables of any sort that are described as "extended in the highs," as that may be a hint that they are fatiguing. (That has happened with cables I have used involving many speakers & headphones over the years.) Maybe that's the current trend in cables and other components. If someone said there was a little roll-off, I would not be offended (just the opposite). I hope I don't get flamed here...
