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?

When comparing interconnect cables,

Design matters -

  1. Geometry & capacitance spec

  2. Dielectric material

  3. Shielding approach

  4. Connector quality

  5. Copper type (beyond basic high-purity OFC)

A well-designed OFC cable will outperform a poorly designed OCC or silver cable every time.

For me it is Kubala-Sosna.    Elation! Is great.  Realization is better.  Can’t wait to try Ovation.   Pure, full spectrum.  Resolving but not etched or bright.

Second on the Cardas.  My whole loom is Cardas Clear and the results are outstanding.

I have not used these - but they look interesting & can not beat the price point. Anyone have these - seems all are built to order too = handcrafted?

There website goes into great detail on the copper used, build, and why:
