Interconnect Help - Recommendation Please


Hi Audiotgon -

I recently just switched out my RCA interconnects (proconnect proflex) with bluejeanscable LC 1 rca cables. What I noticed is that the sound is less harsh to my ears now, more open, much better soundstage.

However, I lost some detail in the singers voices. Such as squecks when singers squeck at the end of the words. (Hard to explain). It seems that some of the details are now in the back of the sound and less pronounced. I did however notice that the proflex are silver coated and the lanare LC 1 is not. Could this be the reason?

To my question: Can someone please recommend a great interconnent. I can afford around $1500 only. I have looked at Kimber, Chord, and the one Im personally eyeing are the cardas with their new crimp termination connectors. Traits I am after: I would love to get back the "details" the proconnect proflex gave me, without sounding harsh. Also looking for even better soundstage, openness, etc.

Thanks guys. It seems really hard to find a interconnect that will pop out the tiny details, such as the squecks in singers voices, witout inadvertenly making the sound harsh and bright.

Equipment I have: Parasound Halo A52
Denon 3800
Denon 4308 (as pre amp) - I will upgrading to the Parasound halo JC2 soon.

Speakers: Dali Ikon 7's (will be upgrading to Helikon 400 mkII or 800 mkII soon)

Thanks guys.
