Help in deciding what cables to get (1 Viewer)

A friend of mine has a Rotel RSX-972 that will be connecting to a Rotel RCC-955 CD changer. He's looking at several interconnects and is looking for opinions. He is using Klipsch speakers, and would like to avoid an overly bright interconnect. He's hoping for a more warm or neutral interconnect. Here are the ones that he's looking at:

Straightwire Encore II
Straightwire Rhapsody II
Bettercables.com Silver Serpent Audio Interconnects
Cardas Golden Cross Interconnect
Cardas Quadlink-Five C Interconnect
Harmonic Technologies Truth-Link
Harmonic Technologies Precision-Link

Any comments on which one is the best for his setup?

assuming you could hear it, the one with the highest capacitance/ft. however it'd have to be one hell of a capacitance before any audibly significant roll-off of the high end were to occur. highest capacitance that I know of are the alpha-goertz interconnects. they're like a capacitor that's been unrolled.
if he considers his system is bright, he either should work on his room and consider treatments or get different speakers.

Vardas wires tend to be considerd a nice mellow warm cable...FWIW
