List your favorite interconnect builders/sellers

Thread Starter 
In some of the other forums there are sticky threads regarding favorite sources for tubes, amps, etc. Is there such a thread/source listing the various cable sellers?

I'm thinking that a list of favorite sellers might be beneficial to someone looking for cables/interconnects. If such a list exists, please link me to it. If not, maybe some folks would like to contribute to this thread.

I know there is a lot of debate between 'believers' and 'skeptics' but I'm hoping that this thread can be used as a resource for folks looking for interconnects and not for debate on whether or not cables make a difference. Maybe that's asking too much.

So, list some of your favorite sellers, even those that sell here (if allowable). Value cables to $$$$$$ cables, all are welcome. We'll let the buyer determine the worth of listed interconnects.

Edit: Provide links, if available.

K Works Clearhearts are the most accurate ICs I've heard. Comparatively, they're a bargain. K Works sells some products through TTVJ but you'll have to contact Igor K himself via email or phone. He's a very knowledgeable chap and it will be worth the call.

Contact Igor Kuznetsoff at gorkuz@yahoo.com or 973-340-2908 after 3 PM.

I have some zu cable which I bought while I was still new here. Its quite nice looking and sounds fine. It was expensive but I don't regret the purchase, though in the future I will be buying blue jeans as I don't appreciate looks enough to pay twice the price for the same sound.

I have been buying all my cables from blue jeans. They sound good, look good (very understated and simple looking), are well built, priced great and shipped fast. I would recommend them.

I've used a number of IC makers and can recommend (in no particular order):

[AK]Zip - Apuresound Audio
drubrew - Moon Audio
cantsleep
VH Audio
Audio Tekne
FallenAngel
skyline889

This applies to both RCA-2-RCA and mini-2-mini ICs.

he seems to rarely get mentioned but Bryan Highflyin9 is one of the best out there. His mini to mini he made for me, solid silver, and sliver clad copper extension cable are outstanding. All are well made and were fairly priced.
