Parts Express Cables = Monoprice?

[alexwakelin]

I had some cables I ordered from Parts Express last week which I just got around to opening and looking at. I open up the package and it says monoprice right on the cable. I checked monoprice.com and they sell the cable for a buck cheaper. Grr! Next time I am ordering right from the source.

That's pretty crazy, although not too surprising. Monoprice is the bomb.

Well you didn't know, but now you do for next time... at least you know you got good cables and don't have to wonder where they got them from.

Call and ask for an adjustment on the price.

Monoprice is a wholesaler I believe.

it's a buck. Quit crying.

PE does that with a lot of stuff actually. I see products in their flyers that are clearly rebadged from another manufacturer. I see they are now selling Dayton T-amps.

They sell more Dayton than anyone I can think of and it's possible that they own Dayton (but I don't know for sure).

Yes, Dayton Audio and PE are essentially one and the same as far as I can tell.

And, that $1 difference is not a rip off difference

Still cheaper than best buy.

Well, it’s not all monoprice. I got a pair of these from PE, and I don’t see anything like them on Monoprice. Nice cable, I use it to bi-wire my front speakers. Nicely built, really good connectors & reasonably priced.
