A little History lesson on, "High- End" cables:


Inquiring minds might want to know, how the High-End cable market all got started.  Expiring minds?   Well......   (http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/a-short-history-of-high-end-cables/)

Guess I'm antediluvian. I wired everything (interconnects and speakers) with Belden cables put together by Blue Jeans. My Bryston electronics and Thiel speakers refused to complain.

Horrors! I no longer can claim to be a true-blue audio compadre, as I refuse to  depart with megabucks for exotic wire covered with the entrails of Beluga whales. 

Sob!
What happened to all the cables Robert Fulton made? He was the pioneer in the field.
Lol,
Monster cables were my first. I paid $120 a pair for three pair.
oh so long ago.

I remember buying my first set of "exotic" interconnects called Goldens back around 1976. My friends thought I was crazy for spending $5.00 on them! People of my age have a little different perspective on audio cables.
