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.

You have to audition cables in your system. How a particular cable is considered in another system may not be very revealing at all. I have found- in my system- Analysis Plus Solo Crystal cables are excellent and well priced, especially if buying used. Several years ago I was exclusively cables (IC's) with the Solo Crystals. Then I got 'higher ideas' and sold the Solos. Well, here I am now back being cabled with Solo IC's.

At the very reasonable price level, I would consider the Audioquest King Cobra and the (gasp!) Monster M1000i. Really!

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?
No all cords do not need to be from the same manufacturer. I'm using a Fusion Audio Enchanter for my Integrated and a Impulse for my source (bit of overkill) and replaced my Fusion audio Interlocker (pre Romance series) with a Nordost Frey then later to the Tyr2
