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?

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.
