Who makes the best copper cables?

I’m a hardcore cable dork 

I’ve been through many cheaper copper cables and even more medium to higher priced silver cables. 
I mainly own Furutech project v1

but they are not a cable. After they warm up they disappear from the system which is great. I love that. But I’ve tried to make everything in my system like that

now I want to add a little of that thick voluptuous copper timbres into my system. 
I know copper can be just as resolving as most silver. Clarus crimson was unreal in details but it was too slow,dark and bloomy

i do not like cables that have capacitors to try and artificially alter sound staging also do not like shunyata. Good but too cool and artificial sounding 

Anyone have any recommendations?

I'm a fan of Acoustic Zen, I have the Absolute copper and it's excellent and does exactly what you want... But their hybrid cables are also amazing, I have a Matrix Reference RCA copper/silver which is one of my favorite cables all time..

And I have 5 of their Krakatoa power cords that are copper/silver hybrid and they are IMO one is the best power cords you can buy period, at least in the semi affordable price range, they give you mystical magical seductive sound, deep subterranean bass, clear and smooth mids and highs, ultra detailed but easy and smooth on the ears with extremely holographic imaging, also they are very flexible..

I currently use Morrow throughout. Made in the USA with TLC. I'm happy with them at a price that I can afford. BTW, I improved the sound of my Magnepans more with proper placement than any cable I've tried.....

What is your system? I'm having a hard time knowing how to approach your comments without understanding what you are listening to.

Have you taken the time and put in the effort to look through many tireless cable threads right here on Audiogon?  

UNTIL you try various cables in YOUR system, threads here give you general ideas at best.  Threads go on for years, and different camps have different feedbacks due to their own experiences good / bad / indifferent.
