Most emotionally involving cables?


I'm auditioning various cables and recently heard the Audio Magic Excalibur II Interconnects and Speaker Cables. Detail, air, quiet, but what struck me most of all was how I immediately fell into the music. Now this isn't the most expensive cable, or the only one that can do this, I'm sure. I'd like to know what other cables have really pushed people into the music, whatever they're made out of.

I like ribbon cables like Nordost and Electra Glide. They make things sound really sweet.
I don't believe that cables are emotionally involving. Matched with the right system, they get out of the way and allow the better qualities of the components to come through. To fine tune a system? Possibly. To make any statement of their own. Never. Granted, some are warmer, some more dynamic, but thoses qualities are only beneficial in a system that needs those qualities, and only to a certain extent. Sorry if I am missing the point of your question, but I think the entire premise misses the point.
Maybe a more logical question would be: "What cables have you had the most sucess with?" or even "What are your favorite cables?".
John 1. Not for the sound? Do you use them to tie someone up? I love my new Concentra, it's gorgeous, but I don't take it to dinner.
Blbloom your last response was great--I loved it!

John 1, why do like the MIT's so much if it isn't for the sound?

I agree with Blbloom, once you get a quality cable in the system, the changes should be more or less fine tuning. If you are changing from a $100 pair of interconnects to a $1000 a pair interconnects, the more "emotion" you are experiencing is the interconnect doing a better job of getting out of the way and letting the music through.

Kevint, maybe you are just getting a really good set of cables for the money and hearing the rest of the system the way it is supposed to sound.
