Your Favorite High Quality Audio Bulk Cable Manufacturer?


Who is your favorite audio cable manufacturer? What is your go to Brand? 

Why?

Think Belden, 1X Technologies, Monster Cable and other high end Brands like that.

What cables in particular do you lean on when upgrading your system?

Would you consider using a lesser known cable if it proved to be just as effective for you?

Mogami Blue Neglex 2477 coax OFC. I bought a 40 ft piece for $40 (1979), cut it in half and used it on my KLH Nines for 23 years! Lost it in a move. Wish I could get some more now! 
I use Japanese brands for interconnect: Canare and Mogami. Canare Starquad has a great shield but is hard to terminate, whereas Mogami’s shield is not braided, and so easier to terminate. ETI connectors are very good, being non-capacative.
Cadras makes their own wire. They also mention they make a lot of the wire for other cable makers. Their main production is in Oregon. But the wire may be created elsewhere in USA by them..
Kimber is in Utah USA. I am sure their wire is custom made for them.
I do not know offhand if they make it themselves.
Neither one makes anything outside of USA.

AudioQuest production is all in China.
I have used Neotech and Acrolink cables with good results.  They do take some time to sound their best.  If you DIY, I suggest keeping the terminations pure copper with with the plating that you find the most appealing to your ears. With that said, remember, you buy cheap, you get cheap.   Synergy prevails!
