Recommendation for an audiophile speaker cord that is not "bright"?

I bought 2 pairs of Nordost interconnects.  I wanted to put them between the preamp and amp. The first were Nordost Red Dawn and the second we’re the Nordost Leif series.  Both cables were used but burned in for 72 hours on a Kharma cable cooker. I ran them in for another 2 weeks and they were way too bright for my taste. 

I kept the cables but used one in each system for my tuners where a little extra energy was ok. At the suggestion of a member of the Cable Asylum, I contacted Chris at VH Audio and told him my equipment and what I was looking for sound wise. He constructed me a gorgeous pair of 1.5 meter cables for $399.00 and burnt them in on his cable cooker.  As soon as I put them in my system, I knew they were what I was after.  I like them so much I will be ordering a couple of more pairs after he gets back from CES in January.  

I cant say enough good things about Chris.  He listened to me and used his vast knowledge of cables and connectors to give me exactly what I was looking for.  I ordered them on a Thursday and on the Friday, he had built them and was burning them in.  The shipped out the following Monday( free shipping) and I received them on Thursday. Exactly a week from start to finish for a custom order.  That is simply amazing. To the OP you should check with Chris at VH Audio, he will not sell you something just to make a sale. He will steer you right and most likely save you money as well. 

I would rather enjoy all types of music on my system and get drawn into the music than worry about a flat response.   Even if it is flat coming out of the speakers which is almost impossible, the room interactions will not make it flat.  If the music coming out of the speakers were truly flat, most wouldn't like it.

I had my McIntosh C2500 tube preamp mated to a Conrad-Johnson MF2550 solid state amp.  Sounded horrible unless you like the sound slow and syrupy.  The McIntosh MC152 and now the MC302 sound incredible with the C2500 preamp.  

I recently purchased a pair of Canare 4S11 speaker cables from Ram Electronics for 106.00 for the pair.  Still breaking them in but they have already bested my $1500.00 speaker cables I was using before the switch.
