Cables and reviewers

...and lots of their designers have no idea about engineering at all or even reality.
Whatever cables were used in recording studio to make good recordings, those have been tested good and savvy. That’s logical and clear and they weren’t priced $4,000 per foot for sure... That’s where the dumb and simple math beats any sophisticated science or reviews behind and idea of high-end audio cables industry and sometimes being dumb is much smarter than listening or reading ta all kinda revieuz and pretending that you’re genius. Among the pro-audio grades there are not too many choices to think of: Mogami, Canare and Monster-pro and some more lower grades. Using these brands for all of your home audio needs solves all cable problems because most of them were used to bring the best recordings you’re listening to now. The other reason to use pro grade that studio engineers choosing proper cables can't be fooled as trivial home audio consumers with all these fancy features of  just a wire after all.

The sonic performance effect of one's cables (that means all of ICs, speaker, and power) is:
(a) entirely directly (emphasis added) audio system dependent in the first part;  and, 
(b) the effects are further signigicantly influenced by the unique characteristics of one's unique listening arena with all of those strengths, limitations, and warts to boot.

There is no "best" or other biased and subjective ranking accordingly; one size does not fit all. Intuitively, there is no consensus nor will there ever be any consensus in such a totally variable and extreme subjective arena .... be it brand, price, construction, design, length, etc.

You can only trust your own ears via actual  hands-on experimentation with your own system and in your own listening environment ... Full stop. 

This is hobby is a complex journey and never contemplated to be a easy destination.

I don't recall seeing any consensus on anything in this hobby. Cables, speakers, amps, digital choices, analog choices, you name it, no consensus.
Consensus has no place in this hobby, and why should it?
Do you really NEED someone to tell you what to buy?

There's no consensus regarding what music is the best either. Maybe the music isn't all that important at any given pricepoint.
