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.

Recently purchased the BMI's Whale Elite power cable. This cable is a monster! But very easy to handle. It's beautiful to look at and is the best power cable I've ever heard.

Dear cornfedboy, "firehose size" is exactly the metaphor I had in mind...I get giggly just thinking about them...did you say FIM? Is Winston a company? Thanks for the suggestion.

Believe it or not, Monster Cable supposedly made the most expensive speaker cables (I have no idea what they look like), at least that I've ever heard of. They listed for like over $100,000 "per installation". If you don't believe me, check out the 10/99 Audio Buyer's Guide. If you don't want to spend that much, Harmonic Technology Pro-9 are over one inch diameter (not that this is a good indicator of conductor size, it's 9 AWG per pole). I believe the Cardas Golden Cross speaker cables have the largest conductors per pole, at 5.5 AWG. I could be wrong on some of this, but THAT seems very unlikely (as usual)...
