I have sold, returned, or given away all my cables but three. RAL, Turbo, and Fitz. I will not do rankings of gear I haven't heard in months or years. If was to rank them based on your scale I would say:
RAL = 100
Fitz = 95
Turbo = 87: Note: The IC from Turbo is over 2 years old, he has developed other ICs since which may be better.

I could go into an explanation of why chose that word instead of the more commonly associated with audio. However I would be wasting my time since you are not a believer and instead you choose every opportunity to attempt to discredit other peoples opinion or thoughts.
For those who want to experiment, go out and buy or borrow ICs and listen for yourself. You may find that a free IC or a $10 one is fine and you can not hear an improvement w/ more expensive cables. If so be happy.
Or you may find that a $100 does sound better than a $20 one, but you do not consider the improvement in sound to be worth $80 and go with the $20 IC. Your call with your own gear and ears, thus a good call.
Or you find that indeed a $150 is the best for you and you have the money and get it. Also a good call because is based on what you heard not on what someone else told you.
No one is right or wrong whey they audition a piece of gear and choose it over another. What is wrong is when some members act like a butthole and use every opportunity to shoot down the ideas presented by others, specially when there is no way anyone can hear what someone else does. So the only suggestion I can truly make is to go and test various ICs and choose the one that sounds best to you and is in your budget.
