Full loom of the same cable brand vs mixing and matching.

There's always been more than one way to skin a cat to achieve the best possible sound quality in any given audio rig.  And, cabling is no exception.  It's all good, whether you go with a full loom of the same cable brand or not.  It all depends on the individual whim of the individual audiophile.  Just that simple.  One size fits all has never applied in high end audio.  Over 15 years ago, I purchased a very expensive loom of cables from the same brand.  Currently, the only cables left in my system from 15 years ago are the speaker cables, which I'll never let go.  Now, I run three different brands of cabling in my audio rig, which I strongly believe will carry me though for at least another 15 years of service.  Happy listening.      

I believe that cable manufactures use their same level of cables throughout when designing and listening to them. I mean why not? It would be strange to use another brand.

But that being stated, unless we have all the same manufactures equipment including vintage, each component would probably perform differently with different cables.

So, mix and match to find the best cable for a particular component.

However, for the first time in a very long time, I do have a complete loom of one brand. I have made my system quite simple, with just a streamer/dac directly to mono block amps.

 As a matter of fact, I currently use three different brands of cables in my audio system with excellent results. 

                                                          DITTO:

        Synergistic Research for my Main, monoblock amps' interconnects,  PCs on Stealth XXX Purifier and Subwoofer amp (into outlet).

                                    Zu Mothers as PCs on everything else

                                 Kimber Kable interconnects on all sources.

                                                     Happy listening!

Early on I had closer to a single loom from one manufacturer. As I heard more stuff and made more mistakes, but learned from it, I started and have continued getting the best sounding cable I felt like paying for and now have a very good sounding system with many manufacturers contributing. You have to be able to trust your ears and it helps to have good friends who have stayed with you for a while and give you second and third opinions along with good recommendations. I definitely have some good helping friends for 10+ years that assist me.
