whats the very best sounding cables for realistic money

Thanks everyone, it was a long shot but i was reading about these Anti cables i think thats what there called then the i read about the Curious Tech and yer i got curious, i have no issues with my system right now,
i am using JPS labs power cables with various copper signal cables, 
i was just curious to know if there is any real magic cables out there at realistic money, i did mention in the post the price ranges,
i strongly believe every link is vital and as i have pointed out i am very happy with what i have i just got curious,
we all get the hifi bug to buy now and again i just seem to get it all the time i really live for musical reproduction and i am so passionate and just want to achieve the very best results possible without getting my trousers pulled down.
My current cables retail for less the 6000gbp they replaced a loom of 40000gbp so as mentioned dearer is by no means better,
i fell for the reviews and advertising tricks that some company's claim so yes i got burnt, im not saying the dearer cables were bad i just found i preferred the cheaper ones, i tried them out of again curiosity and was glad i did,
it was curiosity that started this discussion and going by the replies i have interest in the Curious Tech cables but they would have to be special to out perform my current set, but after all that is the nature of the beast improving ones system, maybe at 50 i should relax switch off and just enjoy the music,
i love to read and gain knowledge so again thank you everyone that has added there bit here already 
it will be interesting if the discussion gains pace there maybe a golden nugget in the haystack, Geoff thanks for jumping in i respect your knowledge and i am always interested in your comments best wishes John
 

Mains, there is no answer to your question. If there was everybody would be doing it. This whole subject of best bang for the buck or what's the best for the money, whatever, has been going on for 40 years. It's pretty much been reduced to the level of a troll. With no end in sight. If you had 40000gbp cables you should be the one telling us. Hel-loo! Pretty soon, at the rate you’re going, you’ll be just like me. No cables. Nada. Zippo. Nothing sounds better than no cables at all.

hi geoff 
i have been off the hifi merry go round for about 5 years , my 40k loom has been around since 2005/2006,the company even longer, every system i built i took it for granted that at that price they must be the best, without trolling or whatever you call it i am not mentioning any names or products only the ones i have not heard.
when i isolated my loudspeakers the penny dropped, i was sent out some cables and bang s**t at a fraction of the price they was more revealing and musical than my good old reliable s, so i ditched the 40k cables and i am now listening to the much cheaper ones.
I was wondering if this company that has a wide range of products can produce a cable that is cheaper and beater sounding than a specialist cable manufacturer that has been around since the 1990s, then maybe with technology there is a dedicated cable company making some real magic cable products.
As i guessed its still the same out there 95% marketing 5% performance or there abouts.
Now no cables is very interesting can you please share your findings?
 

Geof 
i think you have been around tooooooooo loooooong, im guessing you've sold up and put im a celebrity get me out of here on??????????
On a very serious note if no cables is your tonic please pass the bottle thank you

Nailed it !

Without prejudice to the former, the notion of  "realistic money" is an arbitrary, biased and entirely subjective value judgement at best.

-- in a $50,000 high-end build / resolution system, $5000 is "realistic money".... at that price/performance strata, they are all "good" with the challenge being to pick out the contender(s) from the pretenders.

-- in contrast, in a $1000 low-fi system, $100 is a good first step. There is negligible to nil  difference at that price/performance strata, so just pick one of 'em.
