Drubin,

It would be great to have the rest of your system for context, you've got an amp that is capable of a high degree of transparency as I am sure you well know... I reckon it's a big, endlessly deep and kinda still lake of an amp. Where the tonal balance can really come in to play is probably in the electronics upstream of it IMO... not sure cables are the best place to chase additional warmth but thats just my couple of cents on that. A good tube pre with a Magtech is the way to get nicely warm if not exactly wet.

The Shunyata Zitron Cobra if you can go for one is a magic cable that is very highly resolving and musically its a joy. But I think overall it's balance is largely very neutral. The Black Mamba HC is a bit warmer but not nearly as resolving.

I'm thinking a couple of the guys here have or have had Magtechs (TSV, BZR and NoahG maybe) and might chime in with their experiences with cables for them. It's surprising how good that amp is if you give it the right gear around it tho.
