As it happens Shunyata is the only premium brand I tried. I sold them and use Puritan and Supra. I use Belden speaker and Ethernet cables. Belden is a $2.5billion turnover company. 5T00UP is their most popular speaker cable. I suspect they do vastly more research than any home-brew audiophile cable company. 5T00UP is widely used for professional use. I had Townshend Isolda, but they were too short after a room change and I have no issues with the 5T00UP.There are companies that make basic wire and/or assemble cables, and then there are companies that research and continually innovate in order to improve cable performance. Allnic, Lessloss, Shunyata, and Townshend for example, are innovators, whose cables perform on a whole different level from the likes of Belden, Goetz, and Supra, all of which I've tried.

I also use Belden 19364 mains cable from my consumer unit to my modem and switch. I use Neotech 4003 to my hifi because I needed a more flexible cable.
