You want neutral wires. If there is something wrong with your system that you are trying to use a band aid to gloss over some undesirable sound in your system then it's best to find out what is the offending component and replace it. The wire should only transmit what your amps and other components are putting out. At least as close as possible.
When I first got into being an Audiophile I was a huge MIT fan. I went up the entire line. Thousands of dollars of cable. I believe MIT cables were very popular when they first started because it was a time when there was a lot bad digital and bad solid state amps that put out a lot of glare. It worked well to have those network boxes in them which basically acted as an equalizer or took the place of knobs to tone the sound. As I grew in knowledge I realized you don't ever want anything in the signal path that you don't have to have. One day I decided to try something different. I ordered some connector ends, I went to home depot and got the thickest copper wire I could fit on them. I changed out all of my MIT wire in my whole system.
When I turned on my stereo my jaw dropped. It was so glorious sounding. Every aspect of all the sound improved dramatically. As if I had gotten a whole new system. You see when I first started my gear wasn't so good. And the MIT wires probably helped smooth out the glare. As my system got better and improved the MIT wire was holding it back, ruining the signal going through those boxes. I didn't need it glossed over now. Now my gear could shine and the real music come through. I sold all my MIT wire and never looked back. To this day I still build my own wire but have improved on those first ones, and believe I can build reference quality cable as good as any and better than most at a 10th the cost.
Anyway if it works for you fine, keep trying to smooth out bad upstream components. If you want to truly progress your system find the offending component, replace it, and find wires that are more neutral and will allow you to truly hear what your amp and other components are doing.
One of my other revelations back then was going to a passive preamp. And now no preamp at all. One less thing in the way of the signal and true sound. The first time I did that I just hooked direct to the amps and started with a quiet song so nothing would blow out. The sound was amazing. Assuming you have enough gain. Something to try since you're messing around.
