Cables to Add Warmth

Hi. I just obtained a Marantz SA-8005 CD player to go with my restored McIntosh MC-2105 amplifier, Primaluna Prologue 3 preamp, and Vienna Acoustics Haydn Grand speakers. The combination sounds really great, with excellent dynamics, good imaging, and a big soundstage. But the highs are a bit too bright and aggressive sounding for my tastes. I was wondering if someone could suggest some cable-fixes for the problem. Right now I am using Mapleshade double helix speaker cables, which really transformed the system by adding clarity, and Anticables Level III interconnects. I was thinking that maybe a different interconnect would make the system sound a bit less aggressive. Also I would be open (though I doubt its efficacy) to swapping out the stock power cord for a not-too-expensive replacement. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
