I just use the blue AR IC's you get at Best Buy. They're shielded and, I think, neutral. What else could you ask for?
Steve and I talked cables a bit yesterday and he mentioned a Gary Pimm DIY design using Litz wire. I googled for it but can't find any info.
I have the original Homegrown silver coated copper braid unshielded which are a little bright. I've built Kevin Haskins version of the Risch Belden co-ax cross connect which were just OK. I see on his site that he has finished cross connect with Cardas Litz wire for $85. The only truly outstanding cable I have experience with is the 1985 vintage Straightwire I use from phono to pre-amp. It's thin and shielded so must be a small gauge and the RCA looks like all of that era, i.e. no gold, no silver no locking or other doo-dads.
Now if you want to talk speaker cable............
