Tom,
Many moons ago I had the AZ Wow interconnect in my system and realized that after comparing it to the next grade up, Reference Matrix, the Matrix had me spoiled. If you are looking for warmth, find a used pair of the original AZ Reference Matrix. They later came out with a more neutral Mark II version. But the original Matrix had a unique warm glow to the sound that would possibly match well with a bright or lean component. It worked wonderful with some Rotel components I had at the time. There are a few other manufacturers who use some gold in their interconnects that I have read have a nice warmth to their sound. Gold has a tendency to lean to the warm side. A couple come to mind that I haven't heard, Kool Kable Silkworm and Gabriel Gold. I did have a Stealth PGS interconnect( since discontinued, but they still come up used from time to time) and it had a very alive, "Golden" burnished sound to it that was, although colored, very mesmerizing and musical. Have fun experimenting and fine-tuning your system.
