Wish I could claim these were my own diy self but they came from an article and I couldn't resist testing them. Being an audiophile from the 80's I learned that pricier equipment responded to better cables. Today my stereo amp is an Onix Tube amp with much tube rolling. I found these cable's are able to produce a wide soundstage, fairly deep and tonaly accurate. Sound really good on a HT system. You will read all about these in the article. I need a longer set so I'm off to Walmart to see if they still have what I need. I never tried the interconnect's so I have no imput on these. But the cable's are worth (cheap) the admission of trying. Instead of buying the connector's I simply tinned the end's and went with it. I felt this should go under tweak's because it's a ridiculously low price for a great set of cables. Link: http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/whitelightning/moonshine.html

    By the way, you can dress these up with tech flex if you want and they look great. John

    Hm...are we talking about making audio cables out of extension cords?

    No thanks.


    Could be a fun project...I guess. But, I definitely won't be trying it anytime soon. I'm fine with my Audioquests.

    Enjoy.:)

    I'm going to try this. For the money spent, it won't be too much of a loss if I don't like them. :D

    Well, this (tweek?) is intended to interest the diy guy's and I just wanted to throw a nice cheap alternative out there. In defense of the canare's I have read that they're better. Any recipe link's for these? But, the moonshine cable's are very good too. Before you go to Walmart something else I read elsewhere: The right one has SJTW E56365 written on the wire with Woods engraved on both male\female plugs. I just hope Walmart still carry's these as the original article was written in 2007.
