Vampire Wire or also known as Sound Connections does not get much press. But they supply a lot of the core raw materials (wire and connectors) used by many cable, electronics and loudspeaker manufacturers. I'm a big fan of their ICs and speaker cables. Their service is very good as well.

Most cable companies don't print specs. However, I looked at the Nordost Optix cable and it had ~1/3 the resistance, inductance and capacitance of high-end Belden cable. If that doesn't put it up there for top dog, I don't know what does.
