OP for a low cost solution to try what you might like, try a weave and a ribbon. 50-150.00 for a pair and about 7-21 days for shipping.. I’ve been buying from the same 2 guys for about 3 years. Never a problem..

One with red copper spades and the same on the banana. OCC silver clad ribbons & PTFE covers. AND OCC multi conductor helix weaves. I’m telling you, for 500.00 you can just go nuts, and get all kinds of options and GREAT sound.. XLRs and RCAs.. check them out too.
They will match a LOT of the 1-5k cables out there. In Combos 10-15K, just no fancy wooden blocks..
Thanks for you service, buddy... Enjoy...
