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

I just rewired my Magnepan 3.6 with scrap wire 32ft at $0.25 ft equals $8 my cost plus a few minutes to twist them. Then wrap them with Plumbers teflon tape to keep the twist tight.
I do use aftermarket cables etc, and can say often they are really good. But the spiraling costs of cables and wires is nuts.
A back to basics is a good thing when it involves thousands of dollars vs just a few dollars.
Also, audioquest cables, and I've had several, are generally overpriced and unimpressive. Although, I'm amazed that radio shack cables bested the audioquest, you can easily do way better than either without spending a fortune.
I tried the Bedrock a few years back and could have saved money by placing pillows over my speakers. But it really wasn't the sound I was looking for. Thankfully I was able to return them.
