Biggest Baddest Audio Cables


Whether they actually sound better or not, I don't really care but I have a fetish for beautifully made, anaconda sized audio cables, especially with unusually well made connectors. Any ideas here especially where 2nd hand is a deep discount would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I went from some Biggest Baddest cables to the thinnest and best sounding that I have ever heard. For 10 years I was using Virtual Mode IC"s and loved them until I took a leap of faith and tried the DNM IC with the HFTN's installed. WOW! these cables are the closest thing to no cable at all. The music flows so naturaly with zero colorations and PRAT galore! DNM has been around a long time and are well worth looking into!
The only thing to keep in mind with DNM is that they are not shielded and I have found can pick up RF noise, for example if used with switching amps, in some cases more easily than typical shielded designs.

Other than that, they are golden.

Rodge827, you sound like...... a DEALER!!!! I notice in the speaker forum you recommend OMEGA!!! OVER 25 times!! As an answer to EVERYTHING!!!!! WHILE OFF TOPIC!!!!! LIKE YOU ARE JUST NOW!!!! WOW!

Back to biggest and baddest, please.
Cwlondon, Thank-you for for your infomative post....I had no idea that I posted 25 responses about Omega speakers...I thought it was only 24...My life is soo much better now!...I will leave you alone to your "fettish" for all cables long and fat...You were talking about cables, weren't you?
Rodge827,

I said "over 25".

In fact and on review, it looks like you posted thinly veiled advertising for Omega speakers 31 times, with a similar use of exclamation points suggesting an agenda.

You also posted a telephone number of the dealer or distributor, with a tell him I sent you kind of a tone.

As I have said in other threads from time to time, I am very devoted to this forum which began as place for enthusiasts to compare notes and share their experiences and enthusiasm for audio.

Many people here have been unselfishly helping others for years, and offering advice for beginners to get started by recommending bargains on the used market, which also serves the site.

In my view, the founders were wise in knowing that a gathering of passionate and unbiased experts would establish a foundation of credibility, after which they could accept ads, charge classifed fees etc.

In my opinion, the idea was not for people with commercial affiliations to lurk around the forums and try to steer people to products, while masquerading as helpful enthusiasts.

So I will continue to speak out when threads are hijacked by people where a quick review of their posting history suggests shameless self promotion or stuffing the ballot box in response to sincere questions.

In terms of what I described as a "fetish", the definition includes the worship of inanimate objects which are assumed to have special or magical powers - like oversized speaker wire.

I believe your attempt to insult me with a cheesey sex joke says more about you and your preferences than it does about me.

With that, I do hope we can get back to the enduring topic of biggest, baddest audio cables and wish you good luck.
