IMG_1138.JPG IMG_1139.JPG IMG_1140.JPG While looking at a on-line Estate Sale I spotted a listing that featured a Audioquest component cable and a jumble of speaker wire and cables I thought I spotted some Audioquest wire amid the jumble and put a bid on it. I lucked out and won it with a pretty low bid. Anyway it arrived today and I began digging through it and found among it all the following;

Audioquest Type 4 speaker cable (3 11ft sections and 2 20 ft sections)
Audioquest F14 speaker cable (4ft section)
Audio Truth Midnight 3 speaker cable (4ft section)
Extron Electronics 16gauge speaker cable (various section lengths totalling over 100ft)
Audioquest YIQ-G Component cable (7.5 meters)
Audioquest Y-Splitter
Audioquest Video One Video cable (2 separate 7ft cables)
IXOS 1061 Coaxial Cable (2 ft cable)
Monster Cable Interlink II Connectors (3 pairs)
Monster Cable Interlink Special Connector (1 pair)
Monster Cable Interlink 300 RCA cables ( 2 pair )
Monster Cable Interlink 500 RCA cables (2 pairs )

Some of these items I recognize others I don't. I think I did alright for the money I paid but I welcome other opinions if any of this gear rings a bell.

Be careful with the Monster stuff.

Some of their models had RCAs that were so tight they could damage the component connections, especially when trying to remove them.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm just sitting down now to try and figure out what I am going to use. I suspect that I won't need all of the Monster Cable so if you or others can point me in the direction of which are the better ones I would appreciate it.
 
So I added the AQ Type 4 cable to my Adcom/Polk combo and there was a definite improvement - added clarity to the upper end. I also used a couple of pairs of the Interlink 500's for this system.

I then added the Audio Truth Midnight 3 to my Focal center channel and some more Type 4 to the Focal Cobalts. Noticeable improvement there as well.

Looking forward to adding the Type 4 to the Von Schweikert VR2's and Fried speakers tomorrow to hear some improvements there as well.

Nice buy on that gear. Always good to get a deal on a sonic upgrade.

Thanks - I felt like a kid at Christmas opening the box since I really only had a small idea of what was in there. It has been a pleasant surprise to see how many systems I have been able to tweak with all of this stuff, including upgrading my Video cables to my 2 laserdisc players with the AQ Video cables.
