As for me I would definitely stay with my Evidence audio.

1. they very flexible and robust – have them for 4 years now no problems.
2. my local dealer selling them by meters so I can by whatever length I need, and its cheaper than pre made cables
3. they have two wires and shield inside, so for the same money you getting twice more cable, it's possible to wire EA forte in stereo, mic, balanced, or Humbuster cable to avoid ground loops on fractal audio devices
4. they come with very robust and widely available Neutrik plugs, so its easy to repair/repace jack if there is a problem
5. Tonny from EA is very nice guy, I had couple questions, he vas very quick on responding me.

I find vovox to have a little bit more scoop in mids, it may seem like brighter cable, but I find it to be a little to harsh for my setup. also I saw several Vovox cables that needed re-soldering.

Sommer cost something like 1/3 of the price of EA or Vovox, for this money it's one of the best sounding cables I seen. not as good as EA but still very good cable for money.

which one do you like?
