Yet another Monster Cable question

[S.R. Johnson]

Guys please dont hate me when i ask this question. What do think about the cheaper Monster Sandard THX line? I have this cable for my sub and it sounds alot better that my older Monster Bass cable i had a few years ago.

Also what about the Pure AV Silver series line of cables?
I've seen these at Fry's Electronics and I think they maybe a better alt. for Monster cable.

just pulled a PureAV silver out of the box. 8 foot HDMI cable $ 61 delivered from the twister group, or about 2/3 the best MC price I found. very solidly constructed, nearly twice as thick as the inbox cable you get with a Samsung HD-941 universal player. it might actually be too stiff for some applications.

the TV gets here on Saturday, so more to report then

Why would we hate you
We want you to know and learn
So, nothing wrong with the cables themselves, just their prices and the company behavior.
Cables don't have a sound unless they are grossly under designed or grossly incompatible when compared, such as a 24 ga cable and a 16ga cable.

No need to buy expensive cables.

In case anyone's wondering, Pure AV Silver is a grade, or series, or model of a manufacturer (a' la Phillips Gold Series). The wire is made by Belkin, is not silver based (ut oh, the werewolves !!), and is very cost-competitive compared to MC.

Actually, the Monster THX Standard is a lot cheaper than all of the Monster line. For example the the Monster XP mini spool that is a 16ga 100ft wire is $60, but the Monster THX Standard of the same guage and roll is $30.

I would go for the RCA Ultra brand that is a the home depot, but i will try that when I go install my cousin's rear surround speakers.
