Cable Inventory

The "nice" cables I have were made by a guy named John jrwicetrk2@att.net. I don't believe cables make a difference in sound quality (unless they're acting as a restriction), but I can appreciate good workmanship and believe that oxidation-resistant gold plating is worth the money.
