preferred interconnect for FM tuner

I have an AMC T7a tuner and am looking for a compatible interconnect. I am currently using AudioQuest Diamondback RCAs and not finding the AQ's intense focus and brutal honesty a good match with the AMC's strengths - smooth sound and good soundstaging, but a bit noisy, at least where I live. Think I need a warmer and more forgiving cable for this application. Had some older Chord ICs I liked, but those are gone. Ideas?

Thanks Al,

Even on the strongest stations, this is not the quietest or highest resolving tuner. With that said, it has good overall tone and sounds "pleasent" enough, especially with the previous ICs I had on it. The AQ Diamondbacks seem to fight against rather than embrace the warmer qualities of the tuner. Not so much trying to fight hiss as willing to sacrifice some analysis for more warmth.

Does your high capacitance suggestion hold for this?
