Krell CAST cables...which to buy?

I want to buy new CAST cables for my all EVO system (202/402/505). I think I currently have the original type.....purchased just over 3 years ago....about 1/4" diameter?
I have read many different opinions regarding the various choices available and would like to hear the up to date buzz on what is best. Unfortunately I cannot audition any so I have to make a god faith call on this.
My feelings on the sound of my gear right now is that it lacks a certain sparkle eg...cymbals seem muted and not metallic enough. Pianos don't have that percussiveness that they really have. Sound stage seems recessed. Not that I am looking for anything too bright.
I've read some posts that suggest the Nordost MMF is to fast and thin?
Any insight would be most appreciated.
Aloha.....

A friend of mine uses CAST cables he had made by Tara. The difference is impressive and noticeable. You may not have to go all the way up to "The One" to achieve the improvement you seek.

Did Tara quote you $3000/meter for a single CAST cable? That seems a bit high as The One XLR interconnects sell for a bit less than that (as of last summer) for a pair. I'd call them back and ask them to clarify their price to you. (I'm not a dealer).
