| | I don't know when in 1984 Whodini's Escape came out. But I do recall that "Freaks Come Out At Night" was a hit for Halloween. But it was the song Friends," which was a ground-breaker. I actually heard it a few times on the radio, unusual for rap at that time. And some of my classmates also had heard it. I remember being in Mr. Rosenberg's 8th grade social studies class, when my neighbor and classmate, Brian, started singing "Friends."
The above photo just looks weird. It's Joe's Ice Cream, out on Geary. It's always shrouded in fog, so it's unusual to see it in bright sunlight. A good cable is like seeing things in sunlight. So, for that purpose, one of my references is the Nordost Odin. But the audiophiles get their panties in a bunch, whenever I mention its use.
Who's the only one who has the guts to play Whodini at audiophile events? Yours truly. Well, even audiophiles need friends. And so does audio equipment. Per the above, the audiophiles will howl in protest, if I show Nordost Odin on the modest Creek Destiny. So, I'm going to scale it back a bit, and use the Destiny with Wireworld Platinum Eclipse interconnects and speaker cable. And the powercord is a Pranawire Maha Samadhi.
With friends like these, the Destiny is very, very happy.  Nevertheless, if you can squeeze the WBT RCAs in, you can try Kimber's Silver Streak. Then go with Kimber's new clear-&-white 4TC speaker cable. Why spend more, if you don't have to? Another good sonic choice, if you can wrestle with it, is Tara Labs' Vector 1 series. And of course, Wireworld's basic copper Eclipse 6 series is a more affordable alternative to the Platinum Eclipse.
