"romantic" sounding cabling


Hi folks, it is probably a contradictio in terminis thing in audio, but I'm looking for audio cables (interconnects, power cords) that have a touch of romantic flavour to their sound, that means a bit soft and elegant character, somewhat subdued (not edgy) highs, but with excellent resolution and good imaging (not diffuse). They should not be the über expensive cables like Purist Audio Dominus or Nordost Valhalla. Could Kubala-Sosna Emotion be a contender? Thank you in advance.

Maybe this would help:

System: Accuphase digital front end
Accuphase preamp + Tamradio iso tranformer
Acoustic Reality eAR Figaro ICEpower amps
Dunlavy SC-V speakers
Pure Note Paragon Enhanced RCA (phono)
Wireworld Gold Eclipse XLR
Cardas Golden Reference speaker cable
Essential Sound Products The Essence Ref pc
+ Lavardin pc for digital

Sensitivity Dunlavy speakers: 91dB/W/1m

Until now I haven't heard SET's with my speakers. Maybe I would try Sun Audio push-pull 20W tube amps.
PS: I replaced the Pure Note Paragon Enhance XLR between the pre and poweramps with el cheapo RCA interconnects and the sound improves! There is more presence (midrange), soundstage appears less further away. Of course the pure silver Pure Notes are more refined, but are a bit "mechanical" in character and more laid back in sound. I would like to have cables that are combining the characteristics of the two forementioned cables. To what extent can a power cord alter/reshape the sound of an high end system?

I agree, Heimdall are to me the best of the newer Nordost. Very neutral and proper presentation of the music. I have listened to all in this line, Tyr, Valhalla, Frey etc..Didn't like any of the other ones except for Frey, but they don't reprsent the value of Heimdall.

If it is romance you are looking for though, like someone mentioned earlier, tubes will satisfy that very well. When I first got into this hobby I would never have considered tubes. 10 years later, it is all I can sit in front of. All of it connected with Heimdall with much satisfaction.
