I also use Canare 4S11 cables - I think a set of 10 footers cost me $60 or 70 for the pair, something like that, custom-made by someone on eBay.
True story...local dealer let me bring those to the shop for a comparison against a set of Nordost ribbon cables. I don't remember the Nordost model name, they were the wide, flat, sort of pinkish-transparent colored cables, retail was $7000 (this was 2014, so not sure if that price has changed). Did a back and forth between my cheapo cables and the Nordost, on a system composed of an ARC integrated, ARC CD9, and DeVore speakers. All I will say is that the result was...awkward. I still have the Canare 4S11 cables.
