What's your best audio "find"

1. Radio Shack "Fusion" cables (precursor to Auvio's mentioned above), loose on rack with paper tag for $14.95 - that was only about half price, but they sound better to me than all the other ICs I have on hand, some costing 20x more.

2. My brother's Thorens TD150 MkII collecting dust in his garage - FREE.

3. Radio Shack Auvio cables. Like Md Mike, bought some these too and they are very good for under $20.

Hi Al, I thought my pair of 9s sounded good though I didn't listen to them very much. I was always afraid something might go wrong with one of the amps or they might accidently become damaged. I sold my 9s for four times what I paid, but of course they dramatically went up in value shortly after selling. It's the story of my life with stereo equipment.

Has to be the SM-70 Pro amplifier by Monarchy Audio.

IMO, Monarchy probably builds the finest amp you can find for your dollar.

With the SM-70 Pro bridged/used in balanced, mono mode, you'd swear you were listening to a pair of $5000 monoblocks if you had not hooked them up yourself!

I am another happy Auricle cable user. I have Auricle Silver Kaptons in my system, and they are very smooth for a silver IC. My custom SE integrated excels in female vocals, and the Auricle Silver Kaptons do not have a hint of sibilance in my system. These silvers are detailed and musical, a very hard combination to find. These cables are very balanced once broken in. Bass was too heavy at first but improved after 50 hours.

The Kapton Silvers are Auricle's best cables to date. I also own Auricle copper ICs which are excellent as well.
