Audioholics home reference room

Since the new Audioholics home has been set up is there a post on what RCA and balanced cables are being used for the different audio and home theater systems?

Why would the particular cables matter?

More specifically what brands and model numbers for balanced and RCA cables for the different systems.

Wire is wire my friend, so the brand of the cables is irrelevant. We deal in electron transfer on this forum and not superstition.

Gene has tested several brands of cables and he prefers some over others. He uses cables that measure well. Does he use Blue jeans cables for everything? One post he mentioned he used 8TC Kimber speaker cable. I don't think he uses zip cord from a hardware store especially in his high end audio room.

Gene has also many articles/videos about why it really doesn't matter. He has said he likes the aesthetic of the 8TC and it measures well, but IIRC that was purchased when it was more reasonably priced, too. Zip cord can work perfectly fine.

Just curious why you won't say what cables are used in Gene's reference stereo system. Besides 8TC for speakers what about the interconnects, RCA and balanced?. Thank you.

Bigger question is why does it matter so much to you?

But it sells very well, too well.

He wants to sleep well when he can use those cables.

What is the AH Home reference system the OP referenced? Is there a reference system for the forum?
Or is the OP referring to Gene's home systems (the many, the varied and the super cool).?

I get that someone new here might care a great deal about what Gene uses since the man can obviously use any product in the world and probably get it for nothing or close to it. I also get why it doesn't matter at all.
Such is life on a forum. If there weren't folks with questions, what would we do?
