Poking around the net, looks like your original cables were good quality and nicely priced. You're correct about the silver "sound" signature. I don't think you'll get what you're looking for out of the Canare. The Canare is excellent value, but you'll probably have to look at the Better Cable brand again to achive what you want. Unfortunately it could be quite pricey. And you've already purchased the Canare. Hopefully some of the other inmates' suggestions will help.
Cheers!

To all who have offered good advice...
Thank you!...all of the suggestions were good...and I will continue to experiment as time and finances permit...HOWEVER...
I have began by uncoiling the wire, and laying it out along the baseboards, and unless my desire/expectation to hear that which I want is overwhelming my objectivity, I hear a marked improvement in the frequency balance of my system...relatively naturally recorded female voices, (a la folk/Blue Grass), again possess that slight but natural airiness and higher acoustic guitar strings have regained that natural ring, will chase some brass ensemble music next and my ultimate litmus test, horns, (French horns), and if that is right...I will be happy...
I do agree that this wire may not possess that "last degree of detail/air" that I heard with the "Better Cables" speaker Wire, however, I fear that "Better Cables" speaker wire, (only one type sold, which may indicate good quality/demand), may have risen in price so much since I bought it a decade ago, that it is now priced out of my current budget. Anyone know of an equivalent brand/wire?
Peace/Namaste, (and thank you)
T.A.K.
How many hours do you have on the Canare. I would not make any judgements
on the sound of the cable until you have at least 100 hours on the cable
