Little bit "forward" sound - what cables to avoid?


My system with Cary SLP-05 sounds great, but just a little bit "forward" to my taste. My PC and interconnects all are Wireworld, and I feel to explore all SLP-05 potential I need something better - I am thinking about Kubala-Sosna, Purist Audio, Nordost, Shunyata...
I know the choice of cables is system dependent, and matter of taste... But, is there a common opinion which cables are known for tendency to "forward" sound and I should avoid?
I do not have experience with cables and any help to narrow my choice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Boris.

I've found components are as much the issue as are wires. Power cords too can have a great effect in changing the geography of the sound stage. So can tubes, but less so.

Cables I've found which layout the SS from the loudspeakers rearward, are Shunyata Python helix & Helix VX, MIT ICs, Cardas Golden Cross, and the previous versins of Synergistic Research Resolution Ref x2 & SR PCs, Nirvana SX Ltd., Elrod Sig pc,

Speakers as well yield something to the sound field setting.

A single power cord might just be all that's needed to gain you some mid hall or rear of hall effect. Too much of that however might put you into the lobby, so a mix of things has always seemed best to me.
OK... try tjhe lengthy and costly way first.... start at the A's and go from there....

or listen to those posts above about the cables listed here... MIT, CARDAS, AZ, SR, etc.

Good luck.
