I've owned two of the cables on your list... Gabriel Gold's Rapture and Synergistic's Precision Reference. They were both good, but different.
In my system, the SR's were incredibly detailed and spooky quiet, but the tonal balance wasn't quite right. A little too much emphasis in the highs. The GG's had a better tonal balance, just right in fact. But they weren't as resolving as the SR's. So it was a tradeoff.
I'm sure you're aware that cable performance is largely system dependent, so the most reliable source of information is to audition the cables in your own system.
FWIW, I don't buy $2K cables any more. I save my money for other things. Like magic fuses.
