@czarivey speaks the truth here. Belden, Canare, Mogami, and I would add Kimber PR series, are all very high-performance for audio, at a reasonable price. They are actually so good that you do not have to lift them off the floor.
It is true that high-end home audio cables are in another league, but not in terms of performance, in terms of budget and non-sense.
No one on earth has proven that super high-end audio cables enhance the performance of a hi-fi system.  The opposite has been proven over and over.
akg_ca , if there’s an audible difference, they are increasing wire thickness and/or reducing cable length with each ’upgrade’. Monster cable has done that kind of demo well before nordost or audioquest.

Thanks for the link by the way... it's a good read.
A cable like mogami is certainly much better than let's say a Dr Morrow, or Kimber, or audioquest, because in the mogami, you get a good chunk of pure copper kept all together whereas in the others, the cable is made of individually wrapped smaller conductors, therefore a lot more plastic and copper in contact with dielectric which is bad.  It 's actually so bad that audioquest felt the need to slap batteries on their cables.
Dr Morrow is more plastic than copper.  I don't get it.
