Has anyone tried new Auvio cables from Radio Shack

I just tried some Auvio interconnect cables from Radio Shack in my Dad's fairly modest apartment system and I am shocked at how well they work. They clearly hit well above their very modest price. Since I have not done a thorough comparison, I would not call them "Giant Killers" at this point, but I would suggest they at least compare favorably to other budget Hi Fi cables in the $50 to $200 range - quite a bargain at $25 for a 6 ft. pair for the Auvio's.

They look a lot like the Radio Shack "Fusion" cables I bought a few years ago, and perform equally with that high value product. I actually replaced some Audioquest Diamondback cables with a pair of Fusions recently in my primary system because I feel the RS cables are more balanced sounding to my ear right now.

I am wondering if anybody else has tried Auvio cables, and if so, what was your experience?

Good stuff is where you find it.

I have Belkin PureAV Silver brand (as opposed to Blue) speaker cables in my analog 2-channel system. The current version uses OFC, but the previous version (like mine) used OCC (monocrystal copper) with multiple solid conductors of varying gauges--kind of like AudioQuest Varistrand PSC. Mechanically the packaging and connectors are on a par with PS Audio (which I use in another system). I got two pairs of these Belkins on closeout for $20 per 15-ft pair.
