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?

Copper is a commodity. If you have the money buy gold cables. I use 10 AWG copper from Blue Jeans Cable. My AC outlet contacts are gold plated. Silver tarnishes. 

Copper may be a commodity but in wire it comes in lots of different purities and forms. Here are some used in audio cables.

Definitely look into Purist Audio Design. I recently auditioned their Dominus XLR and it maybe what you're looking for. Definitely leaned towards warm, deep, full bodied. That being said, it did fall behind high end silver cables in terms of refinement, upper mids and highs.
