whats the very best sounding cables for realistic money

hi,
can you all please tell me if there are a really special sounding cable out there for realistic money, ie power cables 300/400gbp, signal cables 1m 400/500gbp and speaker cables for around 600/700gbp, i know its still alot of money but there must be a manufacturer out there thats not pulling our trousers down, or spending time and money on R&D to solve problems that do not need addressing ie over the top shielding or some other marketing nonsense, the company i am showing interest in are Anti cables ??????????

"I've also made my own anti-cables speaker cables
, using magnet wire purchased on Amazon - very economical, and sound about the same."

Sounds like a Blue Peter experiment....congrats, enjoy....

Cables are as much hearing dependent as they are system dependent. That's, the better you can hear the more you will be in financial trouble. Great cables are expensive. Some would suggest trying at least mid-level Purist, Ecole and Stage III.

I don’t think Tina Weymouth’s bass playing belongs in Gbmcleod’s post relative to the other players noted, although it may be too late to remove it. Also, I'm in the camp with those who don't think your power cables make much difference, especially if you're using some sort of regulated power supply in the AC chain...all are welcome to this camp…bring a tent.

I'd suggest mid-level AudioQuest cables like the Rocket series, or if you are willing to spend a little more, the Castlerocks are a great option as well...
