Warm, lush and smooth interconnect help


Hi,

I am buying my first pair of high end interconnects. Budget is around 2600 USD. I have researched all around the net and so far I have learned that the following cables are warm: Van Den Hul, Cardas, MIT (really?) and Siltech.

Can anyone confirm this? Are there other manufacturers I have missed? Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

I have decided to go with Fusion Audio Romance 2 RCA and Romance 2 Power Cord.

Thank you all for the great recommendations. It really helped me choose. :)
I'm a newbie to all of this but I agree with dodgealum. Just curious, if you are spending $2,400 on interconnects, how much have you spent on the rest of your system? Are you that guy I heard about that spent $134,000 on a record player ;-)
I found out that the Kubala Sosna Emotion is an old cable. Will it still be in competition with todays cables?

I am close to picking a cable. Either the Fusion Audio Romance 2, Silkworm+ or the above mentioned cable.

Also, I need a power cord. I see that Fusion Audio also makes this in their Romance series. Can you guys recommend a power cord that is also warm, lush and smooth? Do I need to pick both IC and PC to the same manufacturer?
At that price you can try mogami 2549 for unbalanced RCA and 2534 for balanced and still have a ton left over. Not overly warm cable but very revealing and good enough for the pros (you can get these made up with whatever connector and length you want from various pro audio sites)!
