Need Opinions for Different Cable Manufacturers/Cable Designs

You overlooked the best value of the bunch , the Wireworld Eclipse

they are not like everybody else , many for starters don’t all use Copper connectors  which is very important  for sonics as well as conductivity ,many use gold over bright sounding Brsss. WWorld use Silver over high grade copper. The wire 

is 6-9s pure Occ Copper in a straight Litz wire to avoid eddy currents ,

the comdilex dielectric is even better then Teflon and holds their patent.

the speaker cable can be ordered standard or biwire for it is very robust  awg 9 gauge , the interconnects similar geometric  and right in your budget .

I think what you pay for in a cable is to not hear it. 

To that end the Transparent product line is about as good as it gets. FWIW Wilson uses Transparent in their speakers. 

If you want warm and clear Cardas 

I know it’s not on your list but it’s tried and true

USA manufactured and great customer service 

At your price point they are all good it just depends on who you want 

to do business with

Good luck Willy-T

Some excellent cables mentioned above. If you want a unique cable design, try Paul Speltz anti-cables. His best cable, level 5.3 XLRs, are not inexpensive but don’t cost an arm and a leg either. Clarity, naturalness and dynamics are hallmarks of this design. I’ve owned Cardas Clear, Wireworld Gold Eclipse, and Nordost Tyr2 and the level 5.3 interconnects play in the same ballpark as these others. Paul does not advertise and relies upon word of mouth. Plus he has a fair return policy.

+1 for Acoustic Zen. These cables opened my eyes to the impact of good cables. I use their speaker wire and balanced interconnects, and I believe that they will deliver the natural sound you are seeking.
