Personally, I find that I "stockpile" various cables mainly for comparison purposes. Cables are the icing on the cake of a good audio system, and one of the few reasonably priced opportunities for all of us to fine tune the system. Sometimes I look around, and I've got $500 worth of cables sitting in the stack. I'm not all that fond of doing the leg work associated with selling, so when I do sell, I sell in bunches. Used cables also have a good resale value if you bought them used to begin with; generally, you get out what you put in. Good listening,
