I'm not sure if Fitzpatrick Audio is even still in operation now that Fitz seems to be concentrating solely on squirreling away AKG oldies, but I wanted to see if there were any others out there who like his cables as much as I do.
I don't generally sit around comparing cables; only on occasion do I move them around to try to optimize synergy between components. Just recently I *briefly* put his Black Clover interconnects up against a Blue Jeans LC-1 and a SignalCable Silver Reference. Well, the Black Clover trashed the LC-1 (which, at intro pricing, the BC were cheaper than). And I think the BC are about toe-to-toe with the all silver Silver Reference (at four times the intro price). For the particular component chain (D02 --> M^3 --> W2002) I am using right now, the Black Clover are clearly the best (balanced, very clear and smooth with a touch and a half of warmth over the Silver Reference).
I'm curious what kind of non-Litz braid he uses. I guess it might be called a Fitz braid.
Please note that Black Clover is my name for his cables; I have no idea if he has a name for them. I expected them to be black-dark green as they appear in his pictures (and also to go with Fitzpatrick), but they are just regular black. They are also simple and sexy, like a librarian who's grown out of her goth phase.

I had one of his RCA interconnects and they were really good. That said, I did prefer the sound of the LC-1. I can't really remember exactly why, but the LC-1 sounded slightly more detailed and I liked the bassier sound.
