In Reply to: RE: I still have a set of FMS (Fulton) "Blue" posted by HD Audio on August 17, 2016 at 20:20:12
Around the mid-'70s when J Gordon was still chief cook and bottle washer at Stereophile and it was an occasionally published, small format mag, he became enamored with Fulton's (FMI) speakers. Eventually that became a system with Fulton Gold speaker cable (also offered the lesser expensive Fulton Brown), the mystery "foot locker" amplifier, and a preamp designed to work best with the Shure V-15 conical cartridge. Not sure but the Gold may have been about 12g. Fulton also specified "critical" lengths for speaker wire and interconnects.
That was the first commercial offering I remember for special cables. I don't know anything about FMS or Blue.

...the Fulton Gold speaker cable I owned was about an inch across and fairly rigid.
So the 1" would have been across two strands.
I never owned any.

More like Fulton Green!
Looks just like a bunch of Home Depot generic speaker wire I bought off a large roll of it at our local HD about 20 years ago. Turned green at each end after just a couple of years, after that the green corrosion (verdigris?) quickly proceeded to make its way further up the wire in leaps and bounds.
Did Fulton charge extra for it? ;-)
...let's see - those are abut 36 years old.
Just need a little ProGold :-)
