Cables, Interconnects and More Cables???

I do in fact keep a $40 pair of Straightwire Chorus cables to help evaluate new cables, and isolate differences that occur compared to higher priced models. I can EASILY hear the difference between say HT Truthlink $250 and Chorus $40, MUCH more detail and 3D resolution. Of course there comes a point where more cost buys little improvement, and thus becomes a relative waste of money, but if you use generic Radio Shack cable you are leaving a lot of sound on the table.......regards Sam

Rock, out of curiousity, what other cables have you directly compared to RS megacable? This would give us some perspective of where you are coming from, also do you work for Radio Shack, hehehe.....regards Sam

Casey, you hurt Rocks feelings by not buying Radio Shack cable, didn't you accept the RS challenge, hehehe.....

Here are my best performance/cost ratio cables in you price range, of course used is best if possible.....(as always don't buy on strangers advice, use Cable Co to try at home first) IC copper:Harmonic Tech Truthlink, new $250, used $125 IC silver:Silver Audio Hyacinth, new $250, used-not likely instead watch for used HT ProSilway II for $250-275 or used Silver Audio Silver Bullet 4 $125 If you are using Opal or Emerald now, these are nice step up....if you are using Ruby or below these will be revalation! (BTW I have used Opals) If you have AQ Forest or higher speaker cables now, upgrade ICs first......if not upgrade speaker cables also Regards.....Sam

You guys are just joking right......Radio Shack speaker wire $20 for 50ft........Why not buy a Radio Shack CD player there for home stereo $200...... Regards.....Sam
