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.

Well you are sending the Krell amp in for some maintenance, now would be a good time to have them modify the amp and add a IEC input!!! Comparing power cords from the mid 90's to today's cords is like comparing Tara Labs cables from the mid 90's to today's Tara Labs cables. Cheers!!!
If the Krell is not melting the wires inside your walls, it will not melt a Cobalt!! LOL!!
@Audiolab, of course Krell will not recommend after-market cords. Most equipment manufacturers will tell you that cables and cords don't matter....they want you to spend more money on their gear, not cables and cords!! I'm sure the manufacturers of your JBL speakers would tell you that Home Depot 10 gauge wire is fine speaker cable for your speakers.

Hey, I'm not gonna push you, like you pushed me...hehehe. If you want to use the stock cord, use the stock cord. Whatever floats your boat. Cheers!!

LOL!! Not really!! In my 35+ years in this hobby I have found that what others like may, or may not be what I like. This hobby is a crapshoot at best! LOL!!

the outcome should be very adequete!

Adam, I hope that your outcome is MORE than very adequate!! LOL!! I think you are already there with all of your McCormack gear. I still remember when Steve McCormack was working for The Mod Squad!! LOL!! I used to own a Mod Squad Prism Signature CDP back in the early 90's......good times!!
