Up for your consideration are a pair of 3 feet [1M] long Audio Metallurgy GA-2 RCA interconnects w/gold Neutrik connectors in VG condition. Serial number provided for those who are interested only and will not be posted on the public front. These have always been well cared for and come from a smoke free environment. These are a great sounding set of cables that made themselves a home in my rig often. Asking price is $150.00 plus shipping.

From the website linked above...
Product Description

All of our cables are handcrafted, with the greatest of care and attention to detail, here in the United States. Our interconnects are designed and built with one purpose....to provide a perfectly sublime signal path between components. This is a very difficult task to achieve, as all components of audio cables leave sonic signatures. To overcome this, we have designed all of our cables to leave their signatures in the frequencies that are not audible to the human ear. Our special alloys along with both linear and geometric wire designs provide the cleanest, most dynamic, path for your music to flow.

The GA-2's are the latest addition to our line of interconnects. They feature our 20 gauge, Teflon encased, silver-plated wire in a triple linear configuration. The whole cable is then finished off with an outer layer of super-tough KEVLAR . This cable is EXTREMELY flexible and so tough, you can't cut it with a pair of quality scissors.

Thanks for looking and as always, happy listening!

    Hey buddy. Some of it. Not all of it.....but these things can sure make someone else happier with their rig. Rather than just sitting in a couple of boxes in a closet, I figured I'd start to let some of the excess inventory go to someone who may enjoy them. Thanks for the well wishes.

    BTW, if anybody is curious to what I have upgraded to? Transparent Reference.

    I use their GA-0's, and their AG-0's, and their digital coax which I liked better than the Blackcat. Fantastic cable company guys and perform well above their price points.

    Tell you what, gentlemen. I have been informed from a good source that the used price may have been overpriced. With that said, how about enjoying them in your system for $100.00 shipped to your door? Polk forum members who have earned the right to deserve the Flea Market definitely deserve a price break. First come, first serve.

    Please post here in this thread if you are interested in purchasing as all PM's will be ignored.

    Bumpity bump for some nice cables guys. Though Audio Metallurgey isn't a household name like Audioquest or MIT, don't be fooled into thinking they are less superior. This company makes great sounding cables, period. At 100 bones, you'd be hard pressed to do better.

    Hello, soundfreak1. Having never knowingly heard a King Cobra, I can not comment. You will have to rely on someone else to chime in on that one.

    Hmmm, that's a hard one to answer for me. The Diamondbacks were always utilized for the subs. Since they were 12' long, I could play around with the placement a little bit more than with a shorter cable. When I didn't use them for the sub(s) anymore, I used them from the TV to the pre so I could get sound in the rig from whatever we were watching. I don't recall ever A/B'n them against anything because they were utilized more for their length than anything else. Not really the answer you wanted but that's really all I can offer.

    Normally, I would simply place them in the system and evaluate each set of cables in a particular position and share my observations when a question like this is presented. With that said, I currently have no speakers. Mine are being upgraded and a boatload of other things are being done to them. Point being, I can't place them in the rig and offer you my observations like I normally can.

    These retailed for right at $300.00 and are now up for grabs at $100.00 shipped to your door. That's a good value for a great cable that made itself a home in my rig, regardless of what came and went. I used it primarily for connecting the Jolida JD-100 to the Dodd MLP pre.

    OK guys, how about a crazy-insane price drop?

    $80.00 shipped to your door.

    This is half the price I paid for these interconnects that were already at the used price. This is a smokin' deal. I will leave them up on this board for a period of one week. After that, I will move them onto other sale avenues and not at this price. Snag a great set of interconnects before someone else does!
