There is no 'winner take all' as it depends on the rest of the system.
Case in point: When I first got my EVS 1200 I was using Series 8 WireWorld interconnects, TOL speaker cables. I replaced both the WW XLRs and cables with Ali-X Odin 2 Nordost Knockoffs. While my all SS system sounded much better (@ 1/10 the $$$), it was a bit too sharp, so I ordered Odin Gold speaker cables (at ~ $170/2.5m)! Unfortunately one leg must of had a bad solder joint as it barely sent the music . It took a couple months before they replaced it, which I finally installed 2 days ago: BAM. Even immediately, but of course it needs break in time.
HTH
