Unity in cable manufacturers?

I’ve never had all my cables from one manufacturer.  Close,but I just can’t. I think I have trust issues. 

@pianoconcert - I believe it depends on the brand of cable.

If you consider cables from manuifacturers like Hijiri, Zavfino and InAkustik then the various cables (Interconnect, speaker and power) within one of those brands will perform to similar levels, so buying all your cables from one of those brands will achieve a consistant level of performance across all cables

Thing is - just as with many other components in the Audio world, the wise buyer has to educated themselves in how a good cables are constructed e.g.

• the geometry - how the cables is built
• the wires used - e.g. UP-OCC copper or UP-OCC Silver
• the insulation used - e.g. Foamed Teflon, Cotton Oil, Teflon
• the connectors - e.g. materials and Low mass connectors (for IC’s)

Buying cables without understanding any of this, makes purchasing cables a bit hit and miss.

But asking on this forum is a good place to start.

My Current thoughts about those brands mentioned above

1. Hijiri - one of the very best cables on the market today, but a little expensive
2. In-Akustik - a little more affordable and still a very good performer
3. Zavfino - they have the Best Bang for th Buck entry level cables with a nice progression to their top of the line "perfromance" models.

Cables from these brands deliver a noticeble perofrmance improvement, so staying with one brand will achieve great results without having to get too involved in the "minutiae"

At one time, I had all my cables from the same manufacturer.  My reason was the manufacturer also wired my amp and speakers with the same wire.  There was a good synergy with my equipment, cables, and speakers.   After I upgraded everything, all the same cables didn’t sound so great anymore.  

it is system dependent

Happy Listening

I usually try to match the left and right.
