Little bit "forward" sound - what cables to avoid?


My system with Cary SLP-05 sounds great, but just a little bit "forward" to my taste. My PC and interconnects all are Wireworld, and I feel to explore all SLP-05 potential I need something better - I am thinking about Kubala-Sosna, Purist Audio, Nordost, Shunyata...
I know the choice of cables is system dependent, and matter of taste... But, is there a common opinion which cables are known for tendency to "forward" sound and I should avoid?
I do not have experience with cables and any help to narrow my choice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Boris.

How cables will sound in your system is a difficult thing to determine.

My general impression of Nordost products is that they are slightly thin in the midrange, maybe slightly forward in the high end and down a bit in the midrange...

Most will tell you to buy them and try them on your system, you probably know that but you may have to do it anyway for a definitive answer.
fwiw I have been thru several cables and prefer Gabriel Gold Revelation I to all including Audio Note AN-VX, Audience AU24, Acoustic Zen Mat Ref II and many more.

I agree with this post:

give them a try and you may not go back
