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.

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.
After going thru lots of cables, the best I have ever come across that will make music like music is the Audio Note Silver interconnects and their speaker cables (AN-Vz and AN-SPx) respectively.

If the only thing you care for is the music and only the music, these cables are the last you'll ever need. If you're looking for a cable which looks good, trust me, these are not for you. They look DAMN UGLY!
Don't get involved with your cables. They'll only hurt you when you upgrade components. Then you'll be forced to separate, and lets face it, the components are more important. Sell the old, audition, buy silver, break the bank. Repeat as necessary.
I dont know if I paid 30,000 for NBS cables I think I would develop some emotional involvment with them, but then again I am an audioholic.
Argent, Most people use their cables as band aids to tune their systems tonal balance. That's no good as you will be constantly changing cables for the rest of your life after you change a component.

Well, you paid so much for your new component. You should want to hear what it does....not what it does not do and make cable changes to make it sound like you want it to.

My question is...why change components then???? The principle is to get a cable which has the least colorations so that it does not get in the way of the music. I know it does not exist yet but as I said the Audio Note cables do not really have much colorations. Thanks.
