Very interesting radio shack vs. audioquest


I was having trouble with my amp and while troubleshooting i thought it was the cables or spades. i went to radio shack and got cheap wire. OMG the radio shack sounds much better to me than my audioquest bedrock. hmmmm

Alway thought this myself except certain cases when I sold Krell to friends and though our shop didn't have them got them some Cardas to tamp down mettalic nastiness in mids.But you can find some really good reviews of cheap stuff like Anti-Cables or even cheapy wire from Blue Jean and others.So many disagree but when you think of componets or room treaments to break up waves or dampen sound where it needs it or heavy bases/stands for wood floors spending money on cables is dumb.Always though of the major Kimber didn't insult you with product or prices but hey Home Depot 16 guage extension chord might work better than what some folks have hooked up.Like those Shakti Stones and other products not so much subjective B.S and self delusion as in cables.Given that I might want to try some sanely priced Zu cables if I had maybe Zu speakers.But they are not even the frosting on th cake they are the sprinkles.I will still try but buy on cheap an flip if they don't better the speaker wire,IC's and PC's I have.Really and insulting pat of high end if you look at some of the prices.A huge number of 'Gonner's would say I don't know crap though.

I was using Supra cables which are very reasonable cost. I was captivated by all the rave reviews and noise being made about Audience AU24 cables. I just had to have a pair to run with the "Real Audiophiles". I forked out a lot of money for the speaker cables and one set of IC's for my CD to preamp. After 2 months of break in and lots of listening I am pleased to tell you I am back to the Supras. I sold the Audience at a small loss and learned my lesson.....

Nuff' said.
tHis has been two days and I am listening to a linn cd of baroque music. The instruments sound clearer, the violins sound like violins the only thing is there seems to be less bass but this is amazing. Unforunately, i ordered new speaker cables but i now know what the music should sound like. I have modified sacd 1000, sony es integrated amp and canton ct 1000 speakers with a 12" woofer and a magnesium tweeter. hese are very revealing. Maybe i should send an email to audioquest.
I do have Audio Magic interconnects which are silver ribbons. These don't coverup anything. I am hearing the truth. Wasn't that Audioquests slogan for a while.

Want more body in the sound? Go to a heavier gauge speaker cable.

I know a guy that uses solid core thermostat wire from Home Depot, claims it's the best wire he has used and the bass is awesome.
