Monster Cable

[ParadigmDawg]

I am now a proud owner of a Interlink® Datalink™ 100 Low-Loss S/PDIF Style Digital Coaxial Cable; whatever the heck that means. This is my first Monster Cable purchase and boy am I proud...lol....

Sorry but it cracks me up that I bought a Monster Cable; that is one thing I never thought I would do. I got it at Comp USA who is going out of business down the street from me. It was listed at 59 bucks and I got it for 3 bucks. I dont see any reason that would prevent me using it as a sub cable since I need a shorter one anyway.

$3? I'd buy it in a heartbeat at that price. Monster does make good cables, they just aren't worth the normal prices they charge for them.

 

[ParadigmDawg]

Exactly.

I would have bought all they had but I dont really need them. You want me to pick some up for you?

I agree with MDS and with J_Garcia 100%. Monster's cables are good, but all the Monster MSRPs are horribly inflated. If I found Monster cables for just a few dollars, I'd buy a slew of them. Good find!

I went back last night in order to buy what they had left and it was all gone...oh well.

I may not be a true audioholic as I only scored a 70 on the test and then this morning I ran to my dealer and was thinking of grabbing an amp, backed out, ran to the tire store and bought new Continental ContiTouring Contacts and had the oil changed. I think a true audioholic would have gotten the amp and ran the tires until he could see the cords!

Directional cables, LOL.(I am typing, but I am not really laughing)

FYI, certain cable designs are directional. The shield is usually only connected at one end in these types of cables.

Greg,

As a professional, also agree with all. No shame to buy good cable, just stupid to pay exorbitant price. (and, just to soothe my conscience, although it has been said often: Do not let yourself be bamboozled by the low C-L-R hype; not to repeat details).

For fear of those not liking Monster, just paint over the name, or better still, put a sticker over it with a new, never-heard-of name; then you will see jealousy!

And my test score...: 41. You are over-equipped!

J_garcia,
Huh?! (No, I don't have Monster. I buy my cable from Woolworths, except for RG58U.)

A true Audioholic would have sold the car to buy better speakers to go with the new amp.

I did the same thing at a CompUSA in Reno. The Monster speaker cables that were $110 a couple days before went for $15.
