Well,"Not Exactly" I keep them all the "same"/thruought the 2 channel. I trickle down the older ones, to HT use. But, also in complete "same" form. Even my digital lincs are the "same".
Do your Cables migrate thru your system?
I initially bought a pair of Audioquest Emerald ICs for my CD player/receiver setup (eons ago). Then I upgraded to separates and got a good deal on a run of Lapis from the CD to the pre-amp. The Emerald got demoted to the pre-amp/amp run. Then I found another run of Lapis to fill in from the pre-amp to amp. The Emerald got kicked out the system all together and demoted to home theater. Yes, I run Emerald for my front speakers. Bought the DVD player and got a run of Coral for free. This connects the rears. I bought a five-channel amp and got a run of Opal for free. One half connects the center channel. The other half...the sub. I've never bought a cable for home theater, I just used the fall-out from my audio system or got free stuff. Anyone else have a similar story?
