Interesting series of responses. So what did I mean? Assuming you are happy with the equipment you bought, there are cables that once inserted into the system change what you hear in such a way that... you melt into the music. Some want to call it clarity, others want to say the equipment gets out of the way of the music, but I'm looking for demonstratable proof. Like the guy turns his system on, sits down to read a book and forgets about the book because the cables have finally broken-in and he gets all caught up hearing music he loves.... emotionally involving.
Most emotionally involving cables?
I'm auditioning various cables and recently heard the Audio Magic Excalibur II Interconnects and Speaker Cables. Detail, air, quiet, but what struck me most of all was how I immediately fell into the music. Now this isn't the most expensive cable, or the only one that can do this, I'm sure. I'd like to know what other cables have really pushed people into the music, whatever they're made out of.
