"romantic" sounding cabling

Hi folks, it is probably a contradictio in terminis thing in audio, but I'm looking for audio cables (interconnects, power cords) that have a touch of romantic flavour to their sound, that means a bit soft and elegant character, somewhat subdued (not edgy) highs, but with excellent resolution and good imaging (not diffuse). They should not be the über expensive cables like Purist Audio Dominus or Nordost Valhalla. Could Kubala-Sosna Emotion be a contender? Thank you in advance.

Nordost Heimdall IC,.. yes this Nordost in my system is very warm, yet quite resolved. Fleshes out voices very nicely and full deep bass presentation. Warmest and most romantic of the 12-15 IC's I tried.

Also had a good experience with a Shunyata Taipan Alpha Helix pc on the CD player. Vocals were incredibly romantic. Highs were pushed back, but had great resolution and delicacy. Bass was also killer. Convinced me of the impact of power cables on a digital source.
