SameSspeaker Cable and Interconnects

I've recently found that I like my systems sound better when I'm running the same brand/model speaker cable and interconnects. My system is simple, a DAC going to a preamp then to an amp. So I only need two interconnects.

What I hear just sounds more uniform and coherent.It also just 'feels' better meaning that what I hear physically from my ears syncs with what I hear emotionally. Another example of this is related to what I hear with a digital amp. I like what I hear physically from my ears. If I go down a checklist of sonic attributes it all seems to be there. But....what I hear emotionally just fatigues me sooner than later(now I haven't heard all the digital amps out there) and becomes intolerable.

What's your assessment?

look at the question logically and empirically.

there is no justification for keeping the brands the same and there is no necessary condition for mixing and matching.

it would seem that since there are so many cable brands available, there is no definitive answer.

personally, i have not found a single company that can satisfy my preferences.

so, i use different brands of ics, power cords and speaker cable.
