Alternate interconnect to Cardas Neutral Reference


I'm currently using Cardas Neutral References in my system and I'm finding them kind of dull and unemphasizing. They do have a nice warm and neutral sound to them. However, I'm looking for an interconnect that has more definition, clarity and is musical. My current set-up is:

Conrad Johnson MV-60 amp
Conrad Johnson Premier 16LS pre
Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista SACD
Dynaudio Special 25's
PS Audio P500 A/C conditioner

So far I've been considering Audience AU24, or Audioquest Cheetah. I'm open to suggestions or recommendations...

I replaced all my Cardas Neutral Reference ICs with Nirvana S-X. The Cardas seem compressed and lifeless by comparison. Auditioned the Nirvana for free from The Cable Co. www.fatwyre.com

They retained the warmth of the Cardas but seemed much quieter and more detailed.
