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?

Got me interested. I passed a Radio Shack during lunch, purely by accident and got a pair for $20.00. I'll let them burn in and do a comparison against ELF Gold Helix, Virtual Dynamics, Audio Quest King Cobra and Quest's Black Mambas. So far, I've concluded that their packaging far exceeds other expensive cables I've purchased. I love those $300 cables in a zip lock bag
Somec59,

Will be very interested in your comparisons. This has really gotten me interested in finding other wiring deals. My guess is that there are a lot of cable designs that are being manufactured for and distributed by premium retailers that are also available to the public via other channels at steeply discounted prices, both legitimately and otherwise.

Monoprice has well constructed looking interconnects based on RG59u, 75 ohm coax cables with well made connectors for sale for around $2-3 a pair. Not sure if anybody has experience with these? For cable intensive home theater installations, this may be a good solution if your processor/receiver does not accept or decode the latest audio formats via HDMI.
I have some home brew I made with Belden 1694 RG6.The 1694F has a stranded center.1694A and 1694F I believe they both have copper braid.Aluminum foil too?It works fairly decent. RCA's on ends.

Fool me once,no but seriously. Just for speakers. a $12 1.6 supra sp. cable sounded almost identical to a pair of transp. mwsbw $2000:{.Also tried a pair of VDH hy-b only took about 10 seconds to know the supra was a great sounding cable. Chris at VH has some DIY projects.Are not some of those recipes the same as the more expensive cables.Next going to try the rca $150 against a $2200 cable.Try before you buy 30 days maybe 60.Good Luck
Just purchased a 25 Ft roll of their Auvio 15 AWG speaker cable. Added some spades and banana connectors along with shrink wrap and for $25 they sound as good as my DIY Kimber 4PR cable.

They're made very well to boot.
