Interconnects for tube equipment?

I've been doing a lot of reading on IC's on the threads here and elsewhere as of late. I can't seem to find a lot of info on IC's for TUBE equipment. I'm sure some IC's work better with tube gear while others work better with Solid State.
Can anyone suggest a good IC for TUBES, let's say under $300.
I will soon be the owner of a Rogue Tempest:) (Not magnum...yet)
CD player is a Jolida 601A, tube(no jokes please,haha)
Speakers are Tannoy S-10's.
Speaker cables are Wireworld Polaris III's.
No IC's but cheap free be's right now.

Thanks to everyone in advance:)

I would definitely suggest Tice interconnects. It's two straight 14 ga solid copper cores for the (+) and one for the (-). This design gives very strong bass and clean, articulate highs. For the price George is selling them (1.5m pair @ $137.50) you can't go wrong. Someone who's very knowledgeable on cables told me the Tice gives 90% of what the Cardas Cross delivers...

Wow, I didn't think I'd get the response I have so far! Just looking into all the suggestions since yesterday. The Synergistic research Looking Glass Phase II looks interesting. Their website states it's made specifically for TUBE gear. The Nirvana and FMS series may be out of my league. Tice looks good as well. Mike, I emailed Martin as suggested, hopefully he can help. Gregm says silver, I've done some reading on silver ic's and some like it and others say it's bright. Of course this depends on a lot of factors since everyone has different gear.
BUT...how big of a role does SILVER IC's make with TUBE gear?

Thanks again for everyone's input and expertise. It is appreciated.
