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?

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".

Hi Argent; I've pretty much done what you have, and when the ICs, cables, PCs etc get "demoted" far enough, they end up for sale. However at this point, they may be good values for someone else who may repeat this process in their systems. Ergo, good audiophiles are good recyclers-- yes? Cheers. Craig

Argent, we call it "The Boneyard" - that's the bedroom system. We have the 2 channel, the HT and The Boneyard. We just can't seem to get rid of anything :-)
