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?

Allnic, the great tube preamplifier company, has a line of their own cables that are in my experience the quietest and most neutral cables I have ever used.  They use MU metal layer to control EM/RFI.  I have a full loom.  Try the 5000zl speaker and power cords and the R7 MU interconnects.   These cables fly way under audiophile radar.

I just wanted to put in a good word for Audio Sensibility in Canada. They make very good copper core cables at a reasonable price. They were a bargain but i haven't checked what the Canadian exchange is now

@bthrb4u ,

If I may, and apologies if this is too personal:

If your father is still alive, I hope he has the exact life he deserves.

No it’s fine.  And word is he now has colon cancer. Unfortunately my uncle had it too so something I need to be cautious of. Another sad part about being a carpenter is no health insurance. Wife’s insurance would cost $560 a month to add me

I get what you're trying to do, and I don't think you need really expensive cables to accomplish it. I would suggest OCC copper cable and only Gold connectors, not Silver or Rhodium. Here are some excellent cables that do that:

AntiCables Level 3 power cords

Audio Sensibility Statement Copper OCC interconnects (not their Silver), Testament speaker cables, Testament power cables

RAMM Audio OCC Elite 7 or 8 interconnects, Amadeus speaker cables, Zeus power cables

Zavfino Arcadia interconnects, Nova or Prima speaker cables, Legion OFHC, Fina or Prima or Majestic power cables

If you are open to finishing your own cables: Neotech, Oyaide, SAEC, Furutech, Acoustic Revive (All Japanese).....all have OCC or better bulk cable, and finish with gold plated copper connectors (not brass, or any other material). You'll save more than 50% and end up with a much better product.
