So I accumulated a lot of cables over the past month, far more than I need. I have whittled it down to what works best in my system and am selling the rest. All of these are great cables. I've just either upgraded or found something that works better in my system. No paypal fees on anything.
Bogdan Silver Spirit Interconnects - 1m w/Eichmann silver bullets - $110 shipped
These are unique solid silver IC's with 2 silver wires to each IC separated by a wood block in the middle. Very strange design, but whatever it does, it sounds great. Very detailed and open. I think the original retail (although there aren't too many of these out there) was around $375. It's almost worth it just for the Eichmann silver bullets. The silver bullets are unplated pure silver and have always been cleaned with CAIG gold by the original owner and myself. They cables have a natural bend to them and worked marvelously for me from both pre to amp and from source to pre.
Cobalt Cable Ultimate Interconnects - 1m w/locking RCA's - $25 shipped
I bought these here a few weeks ago. Great value IC's that were easily on par with my Signal Analog II's. Locking RCA's tighten down well but have some areas where paint is rubbing off. Function perfectly and the best IC you can get for $25.
Monster 300 Sub cable - 25 feet w/Y-adapter - $15 shipped
Just your basic Monster subwoofer cable. Beige jacket with a few marks. Found this in the storage room and decided to throw it on here. If anyone is in the Philly area, come get this for free.
Blue Circle Audio BC92 Speaker Cables (pair) - 8 ft bi-wire, spades all around - $190 shipped
Most people only know Blue Circle from their amazing pre-amps, DAC's, and power products. I bought these off of recommendation from a guy at a local shop and was completely floored. They are crisp, clean, and completely natural sounding. That's the best way to describe them. The first cable I heard that really sounded like it was letting the music flow - very involving.
These suckers are thick, four 10 gauge conductors in some unique braiding and feel like quality (retail for $580). One 10 gauge conductor to each binding post in the bi-wire, heavy duty spades all around. The jackets are a little frayed and the spades and heat shrink have some marks on them. These were a huge upgrade from my Signal Ultra bi-wires.

Zu Julian speaker cable (pair) - 8 feet, spade to banana - $85 shipped
These were used in a rig with LSi9's and were an upgrade from the Audioquest Type 4 that were previously on them. A good cable that sounds was very neutral and let the LSi's sing. The highs were the most noticeable improvement with these and the bass is tight and clean. Perfect condition with only slight wear on the spades. Spades on amp end, bananas on the speaker end.
Signal Ultra speaker cables (pair) - 9 feet bi-wire - $85 shipped
A great upgrade to Monster or any other bulk cable. Very well made and thick cables. Nice BFA bananas at every end. I still have 2 other pairs of these as backups and, to be honest, I still enjoy the music every bit as much with these as I do my more expensive cables. These are very good with the highs and keep sibilance in check, and they have a thick midrange and bottom. Definitely one of the best values in cable anywhere.
Pictures of everything will be attached in subsequent posts. PM me with any questions. If anybody wants to buy more than one item, I am willing to work a little bit. Also looking for trades for power cables.

not going into the typical paragraph full of the audio buzz words
Thanks from someone who went from ratshack wire to these with 4 stops along the way -
Glad to hear. I really do think it would be impossible to get any better cables than those for under $200 unless it was a clueless person with no idea what they had. I know I already said that, but it bears repeating. I REALLY loved those Blue Circle's (seller's remorse?).:)

Holy bejesus-shipped on 8/22 recieved on 8/23. :eek: Now that's fast.
I suppose that fact that you're in Philly and I'm only 10 miles from the SouthEastern PA USPS distibution center helps, huh?
Ya know I'm only like 2 miles from QVC, and it takes longer for my orders from there to get to me via UPS. It'd be nice if they allowed for local pickup.
Now to hook these babies up...____________________
