Cable Karma

Maybe I can get my Karma to change for the better:rolleyes:. It's been a while since I gave anything away. I've been more in a "collect as much $$$s as I can mode" for obvious reasons.:(:mad::o

Anyways, I'm sure there's a few that would like to try out some nice mid-fi ICs.

Signal Cable Analog Is, which retail for $36 for this size pair, with efxefx terminations...measured 26" connector to connector, so my guess is they are 2 footers. They have the famous Signal red and black flex coating. Excellent condition. They are a very good mid-fi ICs by any standards and are VERY VERY well known and highly recommended from around here. I liked them better than several of the multi-hundred dollar pairs I've tried and got rid of. IMO, a better made IC than any of the AQs I've tried and got rid of.

Only requirements is you need to be looking to upgrade from crappy Wally, Rat Shack, the low-end "M"word ICs or worse. Guys running MIT, or the likes don't need or probably want these anyway, but are welcome if they need them for a second rig or whatever. Also must be a contributor(not a troll or instigator) to the Club. I'll be the judge of that, because post count isn't the Holy Grail of contribution. Also, for the Christmas spirit, I've emptied my Ignore list, as most are banned by now and I'm willing rethink my opinions of some of the others, seeing that I've been prety upset with what's been going on in my small part of the Universe.

Good Luck and I can't promise pre-holiday delivery, but Karma ends tomorrow at 6pm eastern.

    In please. Broke my IC in half (solid strand of copper) hooking up speaker wire to AVR; I stepped right on it. Now I am using some junkers from who the hell knows where. Looks like I got em right out of the frickin dump to be honest.

    "M" word didn't mean Monoprice, but Monster. I have a few Monoprice prods in the house now. For HDMI and HDMI switchers, they can't be beat, imo.

    No your not, I just don't have much good to say about Monster crap. I do have a set of Quad-4 speaker cables that are pretty good, though, but they don't make em like that anymore.

    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D
