Since he is actually serious he doesn't need the emoji.
Cables? What Brand/Model do you use?

Well, I was being sarcastic, but I don’t know the sarcastic emoji to add at the end.

If I were to setup a new system:
All the RCA interconnects would be Blue Jeans Cable LC-1.
The XLR interconnects would use Belden cable and Neutrik connectors.

If you currently have a system, what do you use?

I doubt your statement would withstand an A/B test.

I think it"s great that you have found satisfaction in your choice of cables.
However, cables are one of those "personal choice" issues where it is rare to find two or more that agree on "what's best".
Kind of like Tubes or solid state, Republican/Democrat, Protestant/Catholic, etc etc.
Plus many of us find cables are also very system dependent.
I'm glad you enjoy what you have but I don't think you will convince many others to share in your views.

Well not all cables are as good as those listed, so A/B differences are possible.

Most of the cables in my systems are OBE (Overtaken By Events).
Mostly DIY with various Belden cables.
Most of the RCA's are short custom lengths.
Not what I would chose for a new system.
But the important cable is an eight channel XLR snake.

Shouldn't the most accurate cables be everyone's choice?

I think that is likely the case. And as stated earlier, also personal preferences are like to yield varying outcomes.

No. They are the cables that get you closer to what you want to hear.

Greetings all, long time reader of this forum just recently decided to add my two cents to threads....
i have invested in a complete loom of Wireworld Platinum cables
-Platinum Starlight 7 USB
-Platinum Starlight AES
-Platinum eclipse interconnects (RCA)
-6 Platinum Electra power cords
speaker cables are Analysis plus Silver Apex
i really like the “no house sound” of Wireworld’s cables... I can recognize changes in the system immediately ( for better or worse) and resolution is certainly top tier by anyone’s standards. I feel like the cable search is no longer a part of my lexicon .
i will say this..... not cheap

FRO, That is a very good -looking cable. I notice P.A.D. uses Furutech NCF connectors. A pair at full retail is about $750. They have an Anniversary Edition power cable priced at $15,000. What could POSSIBLY be worth $14,250 in that 1.5 meter of cord??!!
Guessing here: silver, silver/gold?

FYI... According to their website it's all copper, PCCC with 9AWG per leg. At this price level in cables you're not paying for raw materials used, but rather for the sound quality and time spent in research and design to achieve it.
