Need Help with Interconnects for my tube system..


I have a Sonic frontiers sfs 80 amp , an Audio research ls7, and a clear audio phono preamp... with a rega planar 3 with rb 300 arm and nice cartridge.. forget right now..
speakers are mirage m 490 monitors.. 2 way.. with alpha core mi cables.. 8 ft pair.. silver spade..
what interconnects would compliment this system from
preamp to amp and from phono stage to preamp...
i am looking for a warm sound here...
this is a secondary system to my solid state gear..
all you vinyl guys...help me out!!
Thanks

Question- Is it only your table that your wanting to sound a little warmer? Or are you wanting to make ALL your sources (in other workds, the entire system) warmer?

If it's just your table that needs a little more warmth, perhaps you'll want to consider a change in cartridge and/or do the Rega tonearm cable upgrade.

If you're looking to change the sound of the entire system, well, you may want to consider changing out the amp and/or preamp and/or speakers. Interconnects can certainly have a small influence the sound of a system, but they can't fundamentally change the sound. (Assuming, of course, that you already have halfway decent interconnects.)

BTW- Am I reading your post right?- Your tube gear is taking a back seat to your SS gear??
TWL's idea is probably your best bet if you aren't happy with your overall sound. Sometimes just having new tubes of the same make is enough of a difference if the existing tubes are getting a little long in the tooth.
