It’s not your Belden cables. They are “industry standard” cables long used in the pro realm for many of your favorite recordings. They would not be used if they had some weird defect like “raspy highs” and all the recordings using those cables would have “raspy highs.” But the don’t.
You can look up measurements for those exact cables (e.g. on audiohilics) and see they measure superbly.
FWIW I use the Belden 10awg speaker cables (from BJ Cables) and my system certainly doesn’t have raspy highs. I’d hate that.
Beware of “friends” bearing expensive cables. ;-)
Look elsewhere in your system including room acoustics, speaker positioning. Remember that different speakers interact in different ways with a room/listener position.
