Which of the Audiogon advertised interconnects?

I'm looking to replace Kimber silver-streak interconnects between my Denon receiver and sunfire amp and looking for recommendations. I was going to go with one of the interconnects that are frequently sold on auction at Audiogon. A few of the options are Signal cable, Audio Metallurgy GA0, Aural thrills, Bogdan audio Goldy, Black mountain cable Peak Interconnects and others.

I'm looking for a replacement cable that is detailed but not overly bright (which I find the kimber silver to be). Which of these would you go for?

Reciever - Denon AVR-988
AMP - Sunfire Cinema 2
Speakers: Paradigm Studio 100/center

I have had the GA-0's, Signal cable silver, Reality cable, Vintage Audio Labs, Blue Jean, Anti-Cables, just to name a few. After listening to the Morrow SP3 and SP4 speaker cables I think the MA3 or MA4 could be worth an audition. Out of the ic's that I have had the GA-0 is the smoothest but maybe not the most musical or open. More of a laid back sound with nice deep bass. I imagine that the Morrow MA3 or MA4 would throw a very big stage with nice smooth details like the speaker cables do. See if you can audition a few. LARMV (Like Always Results May Vary)

There is a lot more than just the amp than can cause the brittle highs. You could try a good isolation transformer down the road. Maybe the hospital grade Tripp Lite. Even if you have dedicated lines you can still have a lot of emi/rfi irritating the components. It is a magical mystery tour when it comes to cabling. A well shielded power cord on the cdp can reduce the sandpaper sound but at the same time can congest or comprimise detail. For the money the iso tranny is a pretty good way to go. They are better than some of the power condtioners out there and still give you the surge protection.
