I don't think you need to exactly "match" your CD player.
Just go for some excellent IC that competes at the highest level, such as from Realitycables.com. You will be very surprised how much of the sound from your Sony quality player was previously missing in action with your old cable. This newer cable will begin to let you hear what really great cable can accomplish, and will continue to reveal all that each subsequent system upgrade can provide.
If you want to be a little opportunistic and practically "steal" high quality IC from another Audiogon member, watch for the Auricle Audio Design auctions. Even the more poverty stricken audiophiles among us can begin to hear what great cable can do. Prepare to be astonished by the cost to benefit ratio. Not sure for how much longer this brand's final auction bid prices will be so affordable.
Cables can deliver only what your components are capable of producing which means you will appreciate cables more as your components become more sophisticated. That old upgrade bug just keeps on biting.
