Snake oil of my own...
I assembled new cables today. I used these parts:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/4-pcs-Solid-Steel-Speaker-Cable-Audio-Cable-Wire-Pants-Boots-Y-splitter/283517121369?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
https://www.ebay.com/itm/KnuKonceptz-Karma-Twisted-Pair-10-Gauge-Speaker-Cable-Wire-OFC-AWG/391363680389?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
https://www.ebay.com/itm/4pc-Red-Copper-Carbon-Fiber-Speaker-Cable-Spade-Terminal-Connector/222544916747?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
...and some 12MM techflex, but the good stuff. It has cotton in it - not just PET. Other odds and ends are a couple of zipties, some red and black heat shrink.
Final OD ended up around 18mm, which suits me just fine. The spades are very nicely built and looking.
Verdict:
87% fewer veils.
109% bigger soundstage.
38% increase in bass velocity
49% increase in soundstage depth
184% decrease in malingering electrons
65% blacker space
They also made me coffee, but that is the only knock against them - I don't like coffee.
Anyways, not a super cheap set of cables but they look like a million bucks so that is something.

I have a signature.

Glad to hear about the reduction in malingering electrons too, I have been battling those with my menards wire..
