Warm, rich sounding interconnects?


My system is in flux at the moment with a Wadia Intuition 01 as preamp/amp/DAC bookshelf Tyler speakers and (horror of horrors) an iPhone with an Auris bluetooth connection for the current audio source. Since bluetooth at best sounds somewhat thin and tilted up on higher frequencies, it doesn’t play necessarily well with the Wadia which is great sounding overall but also can be on the revealing side.

I know I should get a better source - but even so I’ll always want the option of wireless in various situations. I’ve owned Purist Audio Museaus’s (rev-c’s) in the past, which would be perfect, but sadly sold them on A-gon some time ago. Those are hard to find and the newer Purist cables are brighter sounding.

So in a nutshell I’m looking for interconnects which will deepen and darken the sound for my current setup - and new/used for under $400. Any ideas?

Monsignor, I would keep in mind that most or all of the multitude of cable suggestions that have been made are based on experiences with systems that are much more accurate and musically resolving than the results you’ve indicated your setup is providing. And the results you’ve described are not surprising, given that the most expensive Auris product I see listed sells for $169, while providing DAC as well as Bluetooth functionality.

So my feeling is that the intrinsic differences between the cables that have been suggested will be swamped by the inaccuracies of the Auris device, and will not be perceivable in your setup. Also, I see that the $169 bluMe device, which I suspect is what you are using, has a particularly low output impedance (57 ohms), which will also work in the direction of reducing sensitivity to cable differences. Especially in comparison with the tube-based products that I suspect are used by many of the others who have posted.

Also, I see that the bluMe provides an optical S/PDIF output as well as unbalanced analog outputs. If that device is what you are using, it may be worthwhile trying a digital connection to the Wadia, rather than the analog connections you seem to be referring to.

In any event, good luck as you proceed. Regards,

rotarius, my higher education was slightly different from school and supported with my personal desire to learn certain things i wanted and i needed to know. once i've established myself as professional in my sophomore years, i dropped from college too. 
Cardas Clear are industry reference! Price is outrages! Get Cardas clear performance at 1/3 the price from Walter Wegrzyn Cable Co, Mesa Arizona! Custom cables! Silver core cables at very fair pricing! 
Wegrzyn11@cox.net- This guys cables blow the socks off National brands! My system just topped 80k ! All my connections are Walters cables!
I don't see how cables could sound warm or rich, unless they are distorting or rolling off the signal being fed to them. Better to find neutral cables, and you can always add a tubed component or two for 'midrange liquidity'.
Almarg - Yes I'm using the Auris blueMe (double entendre for sure).  I didn't realize that it had a low impedance - how would that affect the sound?  

I've tried both optical and interconnect, and for me the analog has a more natural sound.  My assumption was that the Auris wouldn't have the DAC in the path of the analog being an inexpensive device - but I have no idea.  In fact the WADIA DOES convert analog to digital but does an amazing job of keeping the analog very analog sounding.

But unlike with other sources the analog sounds tilted up in the high's and I assumed that was the blue-tooth since that's what it's know for, but maybe the lack of impedance also has something to do with it.  

The optical sounds a bit warmer and actually more detailed, but the analog sounds a bit airier and more natural.  So it seemed like the interconnects could be the problem.  The Museaus's were shrill and unfocused, and I've replaced them with AQ Cinnamons which are better but could still use some weight and warmth.  

Thanks for your in-depth look at my setup!
