Warm, fullbodied, smooth, and transparent

Depends on your budget: Transparent Reference Cables (particularly XL) from 10 years ago...not necessarily the new MM1 or MM2 which are a bit cleaner though still full sounding. Very rich, full but detailed and good bass in particular. i use them and really enjoy them...and while they are warm/full, i dont think many if anyone would say they are bloated or slow.

Purist Audio Dominus even more so. Also v expensive

Going to the budget end, the old Audioquest Emerald ICs were very musical, full and warm. not as detailed though...brand new they were $400...20 years ago. Probably could pick one up for 35-65?

good luck and pls keep us posted!

Cardas .

Perfect Lloyd, refrences to both high end and budget, just the kind of feedback I was looking for, although I didn't mention that in my opening post...

Of the few that I own or have tried the Harmonic Technology Truth Link IC's easily are the warmest and most full bodied and have the most presence in the lower range. I wouldn't exactly call them smooth or rolled off because the highs are still there. There must be hundreds or more out there but these could be one to try to get your hands on for a demo.

Second the Cardas suggestion. Cross or Golden Cross depending on budget.
