Unity in cable manufacturers?

Is it important in a high end system to have all interconnects and speaker cables from the same company, i.e. Transparent, Nordost, Audioquest, etc.?

That being said, I currently use Transparent Super for all analog connections and AudioQuest Carbon for HDMI and Optical connections. The system is based around Linn (TT. and preamp), McIntosh (amps), Dynaudio (speakers)
