You talk about monster cables! How about snake ones, too! I am stuck in the analog days of the 1980s when VCRs, big speakers, casette players/recorders and turntables were still the rule... That vintage stuff worked wonderfully and was designed to last many years, as I can attest! Interconnecting all of this gear can be rather "wirey" though! I get a little bit nervous when a big thunderstorm is heading my way considering all of my electronics and cabling... Hmmm! Which one(s) do I disconnect first? And upon reconnecting how can I be sure I got it right before I throw the switch? The copper within this photo is probably worth more than the rest of my equipment ;-)
