I always chuckle at a totally unknown cable getting praised. I confess I have done so myself. But I assume not many will take my word for it...
(though if fifty folks, at different times in different ways, some of whom I trust say so, then maybe..)
But usually it is one person claiming XYZ is fantastic.. etc.((and yes I am pointing toward: 'deluded', of merely mildly confused.))
For myself, I tend to believe it very unlikely a private person is going to make a fantastic cable. Some startup with $1000 worth of wire a bunch of IC ends, and a soldering iron making up his (her) fantasy IC and like magic it is a giant killer? NO F*in way IMO.
The big players, with millions in the game, are working hard to make good products. They have guys who spend their lives designing cables..
So, IMO they ARE the only game in town for a chance to actually make a better than average cable.
(Not that they always will make great cables, just they have a far far better chance to actually succeed.
FYI:
In the past, say 1983 or so, I did make some IC with Mark Levinson wire. $2 a foot, Radio Shack gold RCA. I used that sort of IC for years and years, replacing the so-so ends with Vampire brand ones back in the 2000's I used them with some Kimber IC.. Up until I tried Cardas Parsec a few years ago. wow.
I would say prior to the latest ear in my setup ($5K a pop retail now, vs $1 to $2K prior) I probably could not have heard the difference...
