Anyone care to comment on Radio-Shack Evolution 2 Inter-connects? Good-Bad or otherwise.

i use the radio shack fusion, and they are just fine.
dont bother with the monsters.. way over-priced.. a good solid, standard cable will do the trick 99% of the time.

I use the RS Gold series optical cable from my DVD player to my Denon 2805 and seems to work great, I avoid Monster $$$$

I'm sure your being sarcastic?
The Gold Series is a brand that RS handles, I can't afford Monster like some of you...

Interconnects play a large part in the sound. I'm surprised more and more how every component lends itself to a change in the sound. I used to think it was just receiver and speakers that mattered. But interconnects play their part too.
I stuck to one connector for 5 years, so I never knew the difference. Then...gasp...I tried a different one...and it sounded different. I won't go into any more detail other than to say not all interconnects produce the same sound in your system.

Nor should you spend the money on Monster even if you did have the cash laying around. OK cables, way overpriced... and way too litigious.

Would not buy Monster.....but looking for cables and inter-connects that are mid priced and offer good value. Would even consider Blue Jean Cables at the USD CAN difference and shipping, if cannot buy comparable in Canada.

Well, I don't have the US/CDN issue, but I can add my voice in vouching for Blue Jeans. I'm quite happy with their cables and their prices are great. They also shipped those items they had stocked very quickly.

Well, I guess I'm not hijacking the thread if it's entitled Cables...etc...
I never see Acoustic Research cables mentioned here, though they're readily available at Best Buy. I've bought a reasonable amount of them and find that they seem to be a good mid-point between Radio Shack and something like Monster. Anyone have any thoughts on them?
I've never tried BlueJeans since, when I usually need a cable, I need one now!
