Do your Cables migrate thru your system?

I initially bought a pair of Audioquest Emerald ICs for my CD player/receiver setup (eons ago). Then I upgraded to separates and got a good deal on a run of Lapis from the CD to the pre-amp. The Emerald got demoted to the pre-amp/amp run. Then I found another run of Lapis to fill in from the pre-amp to amp. The Emerald got kicked out the system all together and demoted to home theater. Yes, I run Emerald for my front speakers. Bought the DVD player and got a run of Coral for free. This connects the rears. I bought a five-channel amp and got a run of Opal for free. One half connects the center channel. The other half...the sub. I've never bought a cable for home theater, I just used the fall-out from my audio system or got free stuff. Anyone else have a similar story?

Sheesh Jim, your in bad shape. Not only did you have to clothe and feed the kids, now your supplying their "audio habit" too : )

I'm kind of in the same boat. If it doesn't go into one of my five systems, some of my stuff works its' way into my Brothers' or Dads' system. It's gotten to the point that they are pretty well dialed in now though, so most of it will probably go on the chopping block from here on out. Sean

Hey, Jeff, tip - don't ever getting into tropical fish! If your passion for audio transfers to keeping aquariums, hooobooooy! and, hey, there's always the garage :-)

Some cables migrate in and out and some seemingly out to the closet forever but then again there could arise some occasion like you want to try out a sub with an outboard cross-over and suddenly you need some cables and so what if you think they're not that great. They should work just fine for this application, or out of the blue, you need something for the soon to be kitchen system. You just need to have some stock on hand to cover these situations.
