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?

Best copper cables? Like... best looking? That's subjective. You can't mean best sounding, because they all sound the same as a coat hanger.

I like the China stuff  hope it's real and not memorex.the occ from Japan is great .is it really snake oil or frog oil.this is where your own experience counts as different electronics have different impeadences and capacitance and feedback.the woofers can really feedback that's why some do biwire and bi amp.enjoy the science

I have Silversmith Fidelium balanced cables from my DAC to my preamp and from my monobloc power amps to my speakers.  They are a bit pricey but the results were simply fantastic, especially with the speakers cables.  I have DH Labs for Ethernet (Reunion Cat 8) and USB (Mieage) cables from router to streamer and streamer to DAC, respectively.  I am replacing my other ICs with IceAge Audio OFC series cables, which I find to be provide excellent sound quality and are, as far as I can tell, quite neutral.  They are also reasonably priced.  Nearly all my power cables are now ICeAge Audio, all but one from the OFC series.
