Best Sounding Speaker Cables?

"In my opinion, that would be cables which negatively change or affect the sound the least. I’d start with the right geometry foremost. Conductor spacing is paramount to proper LCR. Then you want that geometry held in place without any relatable insulation ... No skin effect. Imagine a cable with the pos and neg conductors floating in space, perfectly equal distant apart. (impossible, but idea) The conductors should have the best silver, mixed with an alloy to allow the silver to shine, (like Mundorf, but without that sheen it has). One without any of the negative possible aspects of some silver. The cable should be damped for vibrations. And the connectors are less known than most popular boutique brands (WBT, Eichmann, etc) , but simply be better by design. Actually they are about the perfect design imo." These would be the perfect cables for me ..."

I pasted that from an email I saved 10 years ago. Written by a great friend. He actually made the cables described above, and figured out those challenges. And I get to use them in my system exclusively! But he is a friend, so it is a perk. I would personally steer clear of most of the big expensive brands. I sold my Valhalla cables when I changed to my friends cables and made enough to seriously upgrade my system. The main thing I was saying, is I like to steer clear of the expensive big cable brands, and that is my suggestion. But I hope you find sonic nirvana with the cables you end up with, and your future audio journey! Cheers

@millercarbon ... said perfectly above.

In my experience, foils get you to 80% by their nature alone. The deep mods, innovations, techniques get you the rest of the way.
