What cable companies make the best cables and sell them directly?

I have a good quality system and I am looking for better quality cables for all connections.

Denefrips Terminator DAC
Martin Logan Expression ESL 13A Electrostatic Speakers
Pass Labs 260.8 Mono Amplifiers (2)
PS Audio BHK PreAmplifier
Sony Blu Ray UBP-X800 CD/Blu Ray Player
SVS PB 16-Ultra Subwoofer

I am looking for good quality cables sold directly to the consumer.  I am currently using no name, better than average, cables.  I refuse to pay the 100 % markup of the better line of cables that are sold through middlemen.  I am looking for companies that have had very good reviews.

This is NOT to be a discussion as to whether or not cables make a difference.

Thank you to all for your assistance.

I hadn't heard of Auditorium23 until you listed some of your kit.

Had been wanting Audience AU24sx speaker cables. When researching the Audience 23 cables they had good reviews, and I will end up buying them instead.

I have found these cable manufacturers to be my top picks:

Townshend, Zenwave, Cerious Technology

@firstonetallguy I know you have a lot to work with here but I too think Signal Cable does a good job, and it is a small business. Frank is great.

I went with Raven Audio (Texas based, also a small biz) for the Amp AND all Cables for my analogue kit. Their power cable is actually supplied with their amps (who else includes a premium power cable?) and I ended up using their interconnects for the phono stage and 2 REL subs & speaker cables. I think that’s called a full loom?

I cannot say either brand are the BEST but both are DIRECT ONLY.

The Raven’s are a bargain and they offer a 45 day in home trial on some amps and all cables I believe. James @ Raven is great but backed up with emails so best to call if you have questions, otherwise order online.

You should take a look at Black Cat Cable. Chris has been making some of the best cables for a few decades. 

 

+1 for SignalCable.  I have their Silver Resolution interconnects and speaker cables.  Excellent!
