Den,
Even though I had all sorts of equipment in my house, be it my own or borrowed for a listen, I never really belonged to a group that's changed gear frequently. I did though change pieces upward within the same line number of times.
Both Quad and Avantgarde are good examples.
Cables have been the least-changed component. I had various brands but one that stayed in the house was Transparent.
Mogami idea came from a friend and if I'm able to follow through properly to the end, meaning if I select my connectors right and do a really good job in making all the cables etc., who knows, they may "solve" the cable-changing urge for a very long time.
Last night I finished the second set of speaker cables. The first was a 10' pair, the second 8'. Termination is the only thing left and to be honest, for the longer pair, I'm thinking of not terminating at all. Without a doubt, this process will require a lot time and playing around 'til I get it done.
I also started making interconnects and didn't get too far with them. Too tired, went to bed at about midnight last night.
Most likely I'll continue tonight.
The idea truly is to have a set or two to use without looking at anything else for a very long time. I've been able to do that with electronics, no reason it can't be done with wires.
Will keep you posted though.
