Your Best Audio Bargain

soundboy · « **Reply #40 on:** 12 Jun 2005, 04:05 am »

Several years back, Radio Shack introduced a line of cables called "Fusion". At that point in time, many reported positive results using these cables. However, shortly after the line's introduction, Radio Shack discontinued the "Fusion" line in favor of selling Monster Cable

Well, what used to be called "Fusion" has now returned as Radio Shack's Gold Series cables. And at substantial lowered prices. I discovered the return of this cable recently and I started a thread on it over at head-fi.org.

Otherwise, my choices for biggest audio bargains....

1. Grado SR60 headphones
2. Sony SCD-CE595 SACD/CD changer
3. Sony DVP-NS775V DVD/SACD/CD player

I've posted this before in a different thread, but thought it might be worth mentioning again, in response to lonewolfny42:
I found this on the Oris Horn forum and I thought some of you might be interested:

I've never heard of any way to regain lost HF hearing response until this.

The used $800 70 watt Jolida 801 that I picked up last year. A close 2nd is the Magnepan 1.6, purchased new. An incredible bargain at $1750. I don't think I could look with much interest at piston drivers in boxes again.

Maybe Avantgarde horns. But they're no bargain by any standard I know

I did some digging around on LAC. According to health gurus LAC is good for breaking down formaldehyde, a known cumulative toxin, which body generates from free radicals produced by the likes of red wine, booz, and Aspartame.

Quote

N-acetyl L-cysteine (NAC)- 750 mg a day. This is a substance that in cells is converted to glutathione. Glutathione is your cell's major protection against free radicals produced by toxins such as aspartame.. In addition, NAC removes mercury. NAC also enhances detoxification.

Since I indulge in diet pepsi as well as red wine and liquor, I better start taking this stuff. Nevermind hair in your ear. I am talking Aspartame poisoning!

How many of you drink diet soda?

I drink 1-2 cans of diet pop a day unless I'm mixing with booze. Can't stand the regular stuff anymore, especially if it is hot.

Good thing beer doesn't have aspartame in it

The work Dennis Murphy did on my nOrh XO's.

Shipping of the speaker both ways and XO parts costs only....

Hell of a great deal.....

Dennis does not charge for his XO designs.

Sansui XP9900 speakers for $50 I bought from my Brother in law because my sister thought they were too big for her house.
