What is the best copper for mains cables ?


With Acrolink Oyaide, Furutech, Nanotec, Neotec all claiming the best purity of copper for mains cable, which company is actually correct ?
If i have not mentioned any other company claiming their copper is best to provide electricity to our equipment please bring some more companies to the discussion.
Is there a best copper ?
Or are they all good just different ?
I am not talking cable geometry, filtering or insulation, just the best quality copper for mains cable duty.
Even if you do not buy into the marketing of these mentioned companies, please offer your opinion, Thank you.

@select-hifi - have you ever considered making the actual cable from individual strands of wire?

Take a look at this link for details...

It uses Duelund wire for the live conductor and silver plated Mil-Spec wire for the Neutral. The ground is 12 gauge wire from Home Depot.

I have tried many different wire combinations using the Helix geometry, but - the combination above seems to provide the best results.

The helix geometry eliminates almost all noise generated within the cable itself, which is common in all cables that opt for the more standard geometry of three wires of equal length with a slight twist - as with the Nonotec 308.
