Warm, rich sounding interconnects?

My system is in flux at the moment with a Wadia Intuition 01 as preamp/amp/DAC bookshelf Tyler speakers and (horror of horrors) an iPhone with an Auris bluetooth connection for the current audio source. Since bluetooth at best sounds somewhat thin and tilted up on higher frequencies, it doesn’t play necessarily well with the Wadia which is great sounding overall but also can be on the revealing side.

I know I should get a better source - but even so I’ll always want the option of wireless in various situations. I’ve owned Purist Audio Museaus’s (rev-c’s) in the past, which would be perfect, but sadly sold them on A-gon some time ago. Those are hard to find and the newer Purist cables are brighter sounding.

So in a nutshell I’m looking for interconnects which will deepen and darken the sound for my current setup - and new/used for under $400. Any ideas?

Beldon 8402 with Switchcraft?  I'll check it out although I know the Asian market tends to be about the upper frequencies..
No, you are totally wrong.  Just like someone making a blanket statement about the American market would be wrong.

Wifi streaming adapter?  I've tried AppleTV and it sounded worse than bluetooth.  Tell me more..

Thanks for the offer on the Museaus but I also have a pair laying around.  They changed to the more revealing after rev c's buy Purists own admission.

Changing the power chord might also help as would Cardas crosses, etc.  Of course the real fix is a better source connection.

I’m not sure how much equalization is at issue here, but if you’re looking for an affordable, good sounding i/c just on the warm side I can recommend Belden 8402.  Still within your budget is the very neat Z-Squared AU/AU i/c being advertised here on the 'Gon. Detailed despite being warm and very spatial. And yes, it's real AU:
