To loom or not to loom?


Ladies and Gentlemen.

I am asking for your experiences in running a complete loom of one brand of cable, experiences not opinions and conjecture please.

I have 2 systems with interconnects from DH Labs and Zavfino, Speaker cables from Zavfino and Wireworld. Power cables are a mishmosh of LessLoss (digital front end) Zavfino (tubes), SR Research SS monoblocks, all great quality cables. 

Should I look at consolidating each system to a specific brand and model of cables or is this a fool's errand? 

Again if you do not have specific experiences please refrain from posting gibberish and innuendo.

Understanding that it may not always work out to use 1 loom of cable in your system, it's certainly something to shoot for.  The ideal is to have the same model from the same brand or perhaps at least the same geometry and materials within the same brand.  I know this sounds like conjecture, but I come to this point from years (41+ years professionally) putting this concept to the test.  Each and every time I've come from a mix and match cable configuration in a system and then move to the same brand/model (even if that model may not be viewed as the best in an absolute sense) the result is better.  The sound becomes more relaxed (less of a tendency toward nervousness or fatigue), more coherent, and simply more natural. I've wanted to be proven wrong through my experiences but simply haven't been.  A complete brand/model loom all the way!
