What cable companies make the best cables and sell them directly?

What cable companies make the best cables and sell them directly?

I have a good quality system and I am looking for better quality cables for all connections.

Denefrips Terminator DAC
Martin Logan Expression ESL 13A Electrostatic Speakers
Pass Labs 260.8 Mono Amplifiers (2)
PS Audio BHK PreAmplifier
Sony Blu Ray UBP-X800 CD/Blu Ray Player
SVS PB 16-Ultra Subwoofer

I am looking for good quality cables sold directly to the consumer.  I am currently using no name, better than average, cables.  I refuse to pay the 100 % markup of the better line of cables that are sold through middlemen.  I am looking for companies that have had very good reviews.

This is NOT to be a discussion as to whether or not cables make a difference.

Thank you to all for your assistance.

Check audio sensibility web page if you are truly looking for cables.

I went direct with Grover Huffman cables - Pharaoh speaker cables and ICs. Power cords next.

If I had it to do over again, I’d buy used Acoustic Zen Silver Reference interconnects and Satori speaker cables (double barrel shotgun if you can bi-wire).  Buying good, used cables is one of the best bargains you can get in audio because you can sell them at little/no loss if they don’t work for you unless you happen to have a good dealer nearby.  If you can beat the AZ cables, buy them.

I was lucky enough to try 100+ different cables. Nothing get close to High Fidelity cables. The price bites, but these are the best of the best of the best. Rick is the owner. You can deal directly.

If grade his tonearm Helix Ultimate Reference as 10, the next in line would be Graham IC-70 with score 5 and next Hovland Music Groove 2 with score 4.

I got his power cables and RCA interconnects that are awesome addition to my line up too. Didn't have room behind my rack and money to try speaker cables.
