After many years of being a no compromise high ender I learnt my lesson 
most of these hyped super cables are just Marketing products.
Lately tested a relatively cheap eBay Interconnect (German brand) against the 2KS$ IC of a friend (same setup, A/B switching via remote control) ... And it was 99.9% the same. I paid less than 200 ...
Hot tip for the daring - make your own cable. In Tuas is Lapp Cable (the oldest cable brand in the world, German) and many high end brands buy their cables from them and just optically change them with cloth, an impressive power plug or whatever. Lapp sells also small quantities by the meter (you have to go there though and wait a bit) and already a simple Lapp Oelflex cable is a good Power Cord. They have Higher End Models for Robot Control in Manufacturing, that shall be fantastic ... and btw a good Power Cable is also a good Speaker Cable, not interconnect though.
On request is can find out more for you, as most info on Lapp is in German.
