whats the very best sounding cables for realistic money

hi,
can you all please tell me if there are a really special sounding cable out there for realistic money, ie power cables 300/400gbp, signal cables 1m 400/500gbp and speaker cables for around 600/700gbp, i know its still alot of money but there must be a manufacturer out there thats not pulling our trousers down, or spending time and money on R&D to solve problems that do not need addressing ie over the top shielding or some other marketing nonsense, the company i am showing interest in are Anti cables ??????????

"..how could they be too bright? They’re just solid copper."

I don't know, and have little interest in the theory.  They sounded a bit like fingernails on a blackboard on some tracks. Really unplayable.  On simple acoustic tracks, especially instrumentals, much more bearable.  Overall,  it wasn't a difficult choice to let them go.

That’s pretty weird since they are award winning cables. You don’t get those awards if the cables don’t sound great. Usually, anyway. Looks like you're the exception that proves the rule.

Yes - concur with Anti-Cables as great cables for the price.  

Though, I've also made my own anti-cables speaker cables 
, using magnet wire purchased on Amazon - very economical, and sound about the same.

Cerious is fine price/quality - River Cable Flexigy8 is to me the best value around for an amazing speaker cable - Coincident Statement Power Cord for power - Best signal and best speakers cables I ever heard out of dozens I tried, including much more expensive ones, is TelluriumQ SD.
