Krell CAST cables...which to buy?

I want to buy new CAST cables for my all EVO system (202/402/505). I think I currently have the original type.....purchased just over 3 years ago....about 1/4" diameter?
I have read many different opinions regarding the various choices available and would like to hear the up to date buzz on what is best. Unfortunately I cannot audition any so I have to make a god faith call on this.
My feelings on the sound of my gear right now is that it lacks a certain sparkle eg...cymbals seem muted and not metallic enough. Pianos don't have that percussiveness that they really have. Sound stage seems recessed. Not that I am looking for anything too bright.
I've read some posts that suggest the Nordost MMF is to fast and thin?
Any insight would be most appreciated.
Aloha.....

SR does make a custom CAST cable with their magnetic Tricon they sayed the price was $1450 US for one meter. However not too many opinions out there on it. I only know the one person in the UK David that has the cable and all he said was that he sold the Nordost for me I'm still sitting on the fence thinking of jumping in as I'm also using the original first Krell CAST cable between 202/700cx

Tara Labs price of $3000 seems a little high. They gave me a price of $995 and they would make it out their RSC microphone cable they said it would be a little more if I wanted a ground station added. And I think the first generation Krell was copper wire and the second was the thinner with silver wire.
