My experience:

Good- Various Gothic Cable depending on AWG. Excleelent build q and shielding. Cheap, great for all things AV and non-main rig in my house.
Better- Supra- again... specific model number depends on AWG.
Best- Cardas Litz hook up wire. I use 15.5AWG for tweeter and 11AWG for woofer as I have an outboard XO that sits next to my amps. tricky soldering if not experienced with litz... but if I can do it....

I've used and sold a number of cables over the years.
My recommendation is to use AliExpress and either try the Valhalla 2 or 1.It is configured similarly to the Nordost Heindahl.The "2" is more energetic in the upper frequencies, than the "1",which is more laid back.
The Xangsane XS9003 is a sterling silver cable with good body.Don't care for the XLR version.It sounds bright-to my ears.

  In couldn't agree more. I have the Valhalla 2 in one of my systems and the Valhalla(original) in the other. I found both to be excellent. Makes me wonder what the actual Nordost cable could do to justify 100X (+ or -) the cost.
