Veritas Cables a new brand that I found
@tubeguy80 I just reached the 100 hour milestone. Will do some serious listening and update if anything noticeably changes. The last 30 hours or so have been mostly background music.  
What % Of Your System Are Your Cables?
Around 7%. There are some amazing cables in the 500-1,000 range.

I agree Argentum is great for low level listening. Thanks to being highly detailed and very dynamic.

@nwres They are certainly quite revealing and highly transparent. Did you notice the complete lack of bass the first 12 hours as I did?

The sterling silver cable is a special one. A bit on the thinner side. Very relaxed, very smooth. Black background. Separation of every note and detail is at a level that defies belief. Thanks to the immense separation, everything else gets to shi...

@denon1  I don't have a lot of cables. Still saving money for a streamer such as the Hifi Rose 130. Only compared it to a $80 silver plated cable, and a $200 Chinese "sterling silver" cable.  I hear you on your descriptions. The background is no...

Hour 67. Vocal is the star of the show but man... The dynamic range is absolutely incredible as well. From the mids to the highs, the shift can be quite stunning. I hope the cables can sound 5-10% smoother. That'd be perfection. I'd also like t...

To further elaborate on why I say these highly detailed cables are not bright, I use a few tracks that are mastered hot. Rockabye by Anne Marie. Just smooth, and airy. And balanced. My heart will go on remix by Laback. Same, smooth and airy. Fa...

54 hrs on the Veritas combo reporting in. My overall impression of these cables: They are intensively detailed, transparent, and musical (sweet and smooth). Sounds very balanced, treble and vocals are highly expressive and open. Best way to desc...

Take a new Veritas speaker cable and the Argentum X and put them in the system, you will have no bass for 12 hours. It’s a very clear indication of cable break in. But let’s ignore the bass for a second. Throughout my experience with new cables, ...

@tubeguy80 holidays got the best of me too   
Audio envy - dang!
@pokey77  Great advice thank! I’ve talked to Capt and I feel really good about the cables.  
Different cables affect volume? (NOT sound quality}
I bought 2 pair of cables. 1 is speaker the other is XLR. Both brand new.  During the early process of break-in, bass was SIGNIFICANTLY less, sound volume was also perceivably less too. Usually I'm comfortable at "52" but the new cables made me g... 
??? Full Loom vs Mix ???
I don’t have a ton of experience in cables so take it with a grain of salt. But I feel mix is better for the most part. I believe each company, certain cables perform better than others. A company that makes fantastic power cables don’t necessari... 
Audio envy - dang!
I wonder what kind of improvements I can get with the new Expanded Ocean power cable replacing some entry level $50 ones. I’ve spent a lot of money on audio this month ($1,600), trying to have a bit of self control otherwise I would buy 2 Expanded...
