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.

I had the same problem with music being forward and went through a lot of cables (Nordost,Mit,Monster,Synergistic...ect) and changing the souce (cdp) 3 times.
I eventually just gave up on trying to get better seperation as each change I made was not to my liking.One day I deceided to run a toslink cable from my cdp to pre and let my pre/pro do the d/a conversion (Rotel RSP 1069).To my surprise this gave me what I was looking for.Music was now more detailed and airy and seperation was amazing.Instead of having a wall of sound I could now pick out each instrument and it being a toslink cable I thought it would end up on the bright side but it is just smooth , detailed and a more realistic listing experence.
