How many spare cables and power cords do you have?

Today I was cleaning up my listening room and it has dawned on me that I am gathering quite a collection of cables. I thought of selling them, but then again, maybe I should keep them for testing purposes.

Just how many spare cords do I need? How many do most audiophiles have?

Two digital cables. Maybe close to ten pairs of interconnects. At least two sets of speaker cables. Who knows how many power cords.

Although some cheapos are in the mix, it's still a shitload for sure. Thanks for reminding me, I think I'll put up a bunch of 'em for sale.

Hey Distortion,

It seems we have identical boxes-o-stuff! Heheh.

I did a preamp comparo a few months ago and for that I needed different combos [balanced/RCA, silver/copper] of Acoustic Zen cables for the test.

Off the top of my head I'll probably end up selling:
- 8 foot biwired pair of AZ Hologram II w/ Z-Spades
- One meter balanced pair of AZ Matrix Ref II
- One meter single-ended pair of AZ Silver Ref II
- One meter Virtual Dynamics Nite digital
- Two one meter pairs of VD Audition interconnect
- 8 foot biwired pair of VD Audition speaker cable w/ WBT termination.

I still haven't made up my mind if I'll put all those cables up for sale, I'll think about it this weenekend. The other cheaper stuff [Monster, Tara, AQ, MIT] I'll probably keep around for my home theater system.

How about you?
