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.

I've been heading in this direction myself. I was drawn to the fact your using DH Lab cables.

I was looking for a reasonably priced USB cable from Streamer to DAC and ended up with DH Lab's Mirage. I wasn't expecting much difference to what I had, but against my expectations, it was noticeably different.

I then wanted to try more DH Labs so went for the Air CryobMatrix RCA ICs, and also the Reunion Ethernet.

All very nice and a reasonable price. I am going to try the speaker cables next. 

I've never made a conscious effort to go full loom, but I guess if you like what a particular brand's cables do for your system/enjoyment, makes a kind of sense to keep going.

My PCs are a mush mash of Triode Wire, NRG Custom Cables and Furutech; not sure I'll go that far, but I'll will going full DH Labs for signal cables
