Sharing my experience with cables
40 years in audio, tons of gear and cables and the most musical cables I have experienced are Transparent and MIT!  
Cable curmudgeon

Best speaker Cable matching Wilson Audio Sasha
Tansparent or MIT…experience!  
Does Anyone Else Member the Golden Age of Audio Insults and Product Degradation?
So this is a racist, ignorant retrospective of audio brands?  Nice 👍   
How do you judge audio components and speakers?

"World's Best Cables" vs Audioquest interconnects
Do all cables sound the same?  Uh no Do measurements tell the whole story?  Nah Are most cables a variation on a theme or at worst, new age snake oil?  Most, some more than others Are there manufacturers who have been around since the beginning...
