Top Ten Interconnects of all time...


A tip of the hat to FERRARI...(and to those great auto's!). I have enjoyed the "Top Ten" threads...So,.. What is you favorite Interconnect cables of all time? I will start this off with the following candidates...Wireworld Gold Eclipse III, Cardas Golden Reference, Nirvana S-L and S-X, Nordost Quattrofil..and the rest is up to you.

I'de call the Oritek X-2's as the Koetsu(yes, I own the original Rosewood) of interconnects, in that they convey something about music that escapes most audio components. Yes, I pay what anyone else pays for these.
Just saw the comment about the Fulton cables. In my younger days (late 70's early 80's) I was the Fulton rep for the East coast. I remember being laughed out of almost every high end store, because back then high end dealers claimed that it made no differnece as long as you used heavy gague copper wire. Robert Fulton was a true musical genius who was often laughed at. Don't know what ever happened to him. He deserves full recognition for his contribution.
I own both the Fulton Brown's and Fulton Gold speaker cable. I mention this next part for perspective to possible cable purchasers. The Signal Cable Silver Resolutions beat the Fulton's. I'm not necessarily advocating the Silver Resolutions(although, I am with Nuforce amps), it just gives a realistic bent to this discussion. We can talk about the past(for instance, I have the original MIT interconnects), and that is good, but if someone is currently in the market for cables, the cables mentioned here would be incorrect for you.
I have tried tons of cables over the years.
Most of the top of lines from MIT, Transparent, Nordost, Cardas, Wireworld, Harmonic Tech, Acoustic Zen, Audioquest, Purist Audio etc, etc....
And until this day the best so far are Nordost Quattro fil and Magnan Silverbronze. Very neutral, utterly musical and extremely resolving.
My system:
ARC Reference One (sold my Ref2 mk2 for this one)
ARC VT-150SE
My own loudspeakers
T+A D10
Extensive power supply cleaning through Exactpower EP-15A, Shunyata Hydra 8 and Anacondas of different types.
Electraglide Epiphany X (on its way out) and Elrod EPS-2S (more to come from these, since it made wonders on my Ref One).
Audioquest Silver and Anti-Cables. Don't twist the Anti-Cables in spite of the recommendation.
