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’ve had iconolast lop of the line xlr and it got sent back. Way over priced. Sounds like a wannabe tyr2 and the tyr2 is good but not great. 
im going to look into purist, Jorma, kubala. 
however I just bought an albedo metamorphosis signature xlr as I’m trying to mimick a system I heard st CAF that I loved with Viva, united home audio reel to reel and albedo cables.

reel to reel can create some unbelievable timbral colors. Some of which I haven’t heard since a kid with cassette tapes. If the cabling they used hadnt been so transparent, those colors would have been skewed. Being that they weren’t, I knew the cable might be just what I need. Will be doing a direct comparison with furutech project v-1

 

@squared80 : Back in the Days of Yore 'philes used Radio Shack/Tandy gray Switchcraft cables. Nobody complained! Then around 1976 DiscWasher brought out Gold Ens IC's. I bought some. Noel Lee started Monster speaker wire, soon followed by Monster IC's. I have some of the much later Monster Reference IC's, bought cheap from an estate sale. By 1977 Mitch Cotter was selling his TriAxial cables for the very reasonable price of $30 a meter. I bought six pairs plus a phono cable ($35). Mitch claimed a lower noise floor due to superior shielding. I still have those Cotter cables buried somewhere in storage. 

IMO if a cable has continuity/passes a signal it is "good enough." I have been around too long to get excited over wire.

Cables are poison to a good system. Plain and simple. I trust my ears not other peoples opinions. While I never went into forums and ridiculed people that thought other wise, I was never a believer in them either. Then I bought and sold hundreds of pieces of equipment trying to get a sound I liked. It was always good but never as good as what I heard in the shops or at shows. Then a friend sent me a usb cable to try and it opened my eyes. Next step was auditioning cables. My mindset what what cables are adding better goodies to the sound. Then I received project v1 to audition and realized that all these other cables, while good, the good qualities they had were merely just imperfections. The v1 opened up a window. No constrictions. However, like I said I’m a cable dork and acknowledge there might still be even better.  I mention all of this because I had a $22k brand new first in the. US esoteric n01xd se and arc ls28se. I thought just going big on my dac would be what I needed. It was nice. But when I got the cabling I sold all of my electronics and went to work on good cabling, conditioning/grounding,  fixing my network. Now, my base is so good that even when I have just my 8 year old denon home theater receiver plugged into my network and streaming qobuz, I have more detail, insight and stability than I ever had with the expensive electronics. In fact aside from the separation of instruments and natural timbres, my system sounds better than pretty much 99% of what I hear at shops and shows. Even a cheap but good cheaper dac and a nice tube pre should be all I need to have a system that I will finally enjoy

Another question is:

What advantage is a 'superior' cable going to have over the ones the recording studios used?
