Forgive me for asking, but WHY?

If you were really into exotics, you would make up a batch of superconducting
speaker cable, now that it needs only liquid nitrogen. :-)  Of course that
would only be unique for a year or so before EVEYBODY had them at room
temperature, but if you kept the old system, you could talk about the audible
differences due to lower thermal noise.
