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?

Not all copper (mix of gold, silver, and copper) but in terms of bang for your buck, Snake River Audio Signature Series are, in my opinion, impossible to beat: https://snakeriveraudio.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4&products_id=21

Beware, model-level performance varies within each brand.  For example, Cardas offers many different cable lines and different price-points.  If someone recommends "Cardas", ask them WHICH Cardas?

One minor point, I had Audio Envy many years ago, and they were dogs and I tried to give them away, but no takers... 

I like my current Audience FrontRow speaker cables.

I'm confused. 

You have Furutech Project-V1, but find them too uncolored?

I'm not so lucky. But I do have Furutech throughout my system. I started with the DPS-4.1 power cord with FI-50 NCF terminations. I loved it, so I bought more. They took ages to break in, but still retain a warm, rich, house sound. 

I found a used Furutech Nanoflux NCF power cord and snapped it up. This was their top of the line prior to V1. It’s great, and objectively better, but more transparent than the DPS-4.1 with FI-50 NCF terminations. 

My advice, which may seem counterintuitive: Have someone make you a DPS-4.1 power cord. Place it strategically in your system. You may find it adds the character that you're looking for.

Good luck!
