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?

I love boxing, because it's the best educational sport ever made on planet! The key phrase of referee "Protect yourself at all times" is extremely important and useful.

A single punch or quantity delivered to opponent drastically increases one's awareness and improves speed of thinking and tactical flexibility within certain rules.

Aside of political matters or politicians, the quality of aka counterfeit Chinese products -- guess what? --  increases and soon will overwhelm these so-called authentic stuff that is worth no more than few minutes of labor to create pair of hook-up wires + few more pennies for raw materials.

Another educational subject that I really like is math, because any dogmatic or delusional case can be easily revealed by building a simple math equation or matrix of such!

czarivey, I agree with you on both accounts.
I believe most (inorganic) things can be explained by math (and physics) and so of course I am skeptical of audiophile products that require a large amount of advertising and a groundswell of support on forums to develop a cadre of believers.  Years of participating in this hobby, and working with various well-regarded manufacturers who have helped me purchase and modify my gear, has only increased my skepticism.
Regarding boxing, Mike Tyson said it pretty well,
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth."

Ok rotarius, I failed to see that your point focused on intellectual property.  Your post seemed more interested in discussing your politics of denouncing corporations and executives who
all they care about is the results at the end of the quarter and their own bonuses
and
how  quality suffers, ..... but by then these guys have moved on
You seemed to know exactly how corporate executives think and how they line their pockets on the backs of
the poor bloke who makes 5 bucks a day
Especially in audio, there are many companies whose owners stay the course through thick and thin, over many years and, while they may make compromises and even outsource to meet market pressures, still stand behind their products and maintain quality.

In America, at the end of the day, the consumer votes with their wallet.  Corporations who do not provide value typically do not survive the competition.

I guess my input on this ends since my last post was removed by a moderator.

  “There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
― Isaac Asimov
