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.

The reason the MIT's are so "emotionally involving" may have something to do with their cost. When you spend that much on cables, sound be damned, there is a certain degree of emotional connection. Things that make you and others (if they knew) question your sanity, a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I feel lucky, I got mine at a great price (still insane) and am happy in the fact that if a "giant killer" comes along at a fraction of the cost or even more for that matter, I can sell the MIT's without losing my tail. And that is always a stabling feeling in this hobby. Blbloom I concur.
I say MIT is most emotionally involving because I see more heated arguments on it than any other cable.
The most involving to me are the nordost valhalla/quattrofils because of their clarity and lack of grain. Lots of good cables out there.
The cable thing goes on - I changed everything to Alpha Core Micro Purl interconnects and speaker cable several months ago and really just to say that it might balance the sound and bring it to me. Did it - I tell myself yes because I listen to the music more - less to the system and know I have quality cables bringing it to me all in the same nature whatever that means. It is a great feeling.
John 1, one of the problems with the net is when you are making a subtle joke, no one gets it. I got it, by the way. Those members of "the cable of the month club" always get really emotional about their new find too. I usually hate my cables. I resent how they get in the way both physically and sonically. I guess what Kevint is looking for is a cable that gets out of the way of the music - me too.
To clarify: What I mean to say, is that I do not find cables to be emotionally involving. I find music to be emotionally involving. Some people like equipment, some people like music, some people like both. I like both, but I try to upgrade my system so that it sounds like a live performance. Expensive cables provide the least signal degredation. Audition them all. Buy the one that makes the music sound live. When you upgrade the components, you might be changing cables as well.
