Ethernet cables


I started something that I really regret now! I changed my Melco ethernet cable (from switch to streamer) to a very expensive Audioquest Vodka and hated the sound! I returned it and got a similarly priced Atlas Mavros cable which I also hated. Both stripped the life out of the music and while they were very smooth and detailed, they never really got off from sounding dull.
Then just for fun (!) i tried a cheap Cat5e cable that i had in the garage and actually preferred that to all of them, including Melco. 
Anyone had any similar experiences?

Very interesting responses so far! I tried using a high qualirty mains block on my router rather than the cheap one I was using and immediately heard the difference. So and LPS may be the way to go. 
It's just a standard BT router, so now the question is whether to go for a better router first or use this router and upgrade the power supply. 
Any thoughts?
