Who remembers the FULTON cables?

your speaking about fulton gold 4 ga.cable. before installing is best to place near speaker, and gase at it for a few days. outbursts of grins and giggles are permitted at this time. very few of even todays amps are posted to accomodate the huge ring terminals but more important the enormous stress on the binding post if you have limited space and have to do a ninty degree turn to the post. i made some six inch tails from fulton brown cable which is very flexible and very musical.makes hook-ups less of a nightmare. been awhile since i used my cables, finding the new tech stuff faster and revealing, and can't leave out the all important more expensive. wonder how many feet of gold went to the salvage yard to finance a six-pack or a pack of smokes!
todays cable diameters seem to be all center core and outer housing.
any fultonites out there with tall bob stories im at ralphcreatures@go.com

The legendary fulton gold speaker cables, thick as hell and heavy too. I have a pair of 28 ft of these cables and its weight like 40 lbs.!!! Not very good full range, its strenght is in the bass and the lower bass. I planned to use it in the low of my biamp speakers but it is just to damn thick and I still try to find way to hook up this cables!!!

FULTON- These cables, there were two models, "Brown" and "Gold", were very popular in the late 1970's and early 1980's. As far as I know, they were the first "audiophile" speaker cables, so they actually created this new "component" category. They were never that good and now they are obsolete.

Basically, they were extra thick, copper, lamp cord wire, like standard Monster cable, but with silver plating. The Brown was 12 or 10 gauge, while the (extremely stiff and super thick) Gold, was either 6 or 4 gauge. They had both a high inductance and a bright sound. They did have good bass because of their low resistance, especially the Gold, which is probably still a good choice as a subwoofer cable. Other than that, both cables are now obsolete and should be avoided.
