I first experimented with high end cables around 1979, when a friend gave me a set of Fulton interconnects which I used between my Hafler amp and preamp.
I would not say I am an expert, but I have learned one or two things in my 26 years of study.
There are other threads that discuss "other aspects" of cabling, but THIS thread is devoted to the "Biggest, Baddest Audio Cables" where pounds/foot could be one of the the most important variables to analyze.
Beyond that, if anyone has also listened to the PS Audio xStream cables, I would be curious to hear any feedback or advice.
