non-tangle/twisting,
I make my own cables. Mostly I use Mogami cable and Neutrik connectors. From the photo those are the connectors PRS uses. As a physicist I am not buying into the wire itself mattering too much over the kind of runs most of us are using. Shielding matters, good solder joints matter, the Neutriks have quite good strain relief so that isn't much of a worry.
I use a Boss WL-50 wireless sometimes, but I'm not a big believer in types of cables affecting sound that much. I buy more based on needed length, end types, and rugged/wrapping them up easily. For my pedalboard, I'm starting to move over to the EBS cables that have really small flat right angle plugs, to save space.
I have to echo these thoughts. I suspect a well-assembled cable, with good shielding, will sound "good" no matter what brand. The trick is to find a cable made such that it has good strain relief, and is therefore going to not sustain damage easily, which is where a lot of cables start to sound crappy, IMHO.I make my own cables.

Now I will say that the way a cable is made - core, insulator, shielding, can all impact the overall capacitance of the cable, especially long runs, which could have an impact to the overall "sound" (thus the "sweet switch" of Santana fame), and I suspect as a result some people like specific capacitance ranges more than others. So the PRS-branded cables are undoubtedly very well made and possibly/likely have a capacitance that is "right where it should be" for many people.
This article is quite interesting:

And so is this one, somewhat arguing the opposite, although they make some incorrect statements regarding the physics of EM waves, which are corrected in the comments by "Science Nazi":

Ohhhh yeah.... let the games begin LOLCables don’t matter? Wait until @LSchefman gets here!

Dude, you need to step a little further away from your amps...I do really dig a 12" Mogami Platinum just for "me in my basement" stuff when I really just want to plug straight in.
