Hi!
http://www.monstercable.com/productdisplay.asp?pin=1710
I have been because some new cables to connect my HK 635 receiver to my Emotiva LPA-1. Correct now I am using 6 of the Ultra Series THX® 1000 RCA connectors equally I was able to buy them for $10 a pair when they went on sale at RadioShack...actually I had a 30% as I was a store director so for the price it was a corking deal compared to retail price.
Now, compared to say the Cryotweaks Silverish cablevision or the Blueish Jeans LC-ane RCA multichannel cables....how bad, or good, are the monsters?
I too have a Monster Interlink® Datalink™ 100 Low-Loss S/PDIF Style Digital Coaxial Cable equally seen here:

which I more than likely need to change to the Cryo or BJ digital coax....that is if yous feel that will be a noticeable improvement.
Regards
Only your ears can tell.
I like, and recommend the CT Silver IC. For $35/pair, these are an outstanding production. I bet they retailed in the low $100's. The company went bankrupt I believe, and no longer sells whatever cables. In that location'south merely 1 store that has these cables, and they've been on "blow-out" for a while at present.

I believe someone said these cables have around $fourscore worth of argent within, and was eve struck how cheap these are.. but when you're stuck with 5000 pairs, and the company is no longer in business, y'all accept to sell these for about nothing to become rid of them..
Nonetheless, I am completely satisfied with my purchase. I similar these cables a lot..

The problem with Monster cables is that they are overpriced. It sounds similar y'all were able to get them at a fair price. They'll perform as well as whatsoever other cable. In that location are much better things to spend coin on than wires... Music for instance.
See ya

I was/am constandly underwhelmed past the performance of Monster cablevision cables. In that location are much improve cables out there.

For in one case, i agree with you on cables.LOL.
The thing that got me worried is reading about the RCA and its 75ohm problem and how the BlueJean guy feels that the Canare RCAP is the closest you can get to a real 75OHM plug....
I have pretty nice gear...my Onix XCD-99 is connected to a P-1A using the monster digital coax and to the P-3A using a spare THX 1000 rca cablevision (not good idea) and from there to my pre amp using the THX one thousand rca cables.
Unless your cables are extraordinarily long runs, don't sweat it. Cablevision salesmen will e'er say their product is the best. The truth is, in that location is no aural departure, fifty-fifty if what they are saying is truthful.
Purchase a bunch of proficient sounding CDs instead.
Encounter ya

I judge I can always give them a endeavor and return them if I dont hear whatsoever differences...at to the lowest degree with the BJ stuff. So over again, I will need to test a few of them because otherwise how am I going to tell, for instance, if the new digitial coax been tested is not been handicapped by the Monster TRCAs going from the preamp to the amp....

Huh? There is no audible divergence, regardless if what I'm saying is true?
Maybe yous should restate your opinion hither:
"In my opinion, there is no audible deviation, fifty-fifty if what they are proverb is true".
What "facts" do you lot accept, that says everyone will not hear a difference? Because in FACT, I can hear an audible difference, thank you very much.
the monster cable RCAs for the 1000 series are pretty prissy if i call up correctly the grip on them is proficient with the whole turbine fan groove thing going on. Just keep them.
Delight guys, if I am request about this is because I am willing to try them out and findout if MY EARS can hear a difference...and then while I respect bigshot's and everyone else's opinion, lets not go into a cable state of war here.
I want recommendations....not flaming wars.

The grip on those things is insane for sure...if that is something practiced then they rock cause seriously when I need to disconnect them I am afraid I am gonna rip the connectors out of my receiver...I am serious.

I wish information technology were more clear, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten then defensive. It sure sounded like you said, "in that location is no aural difference between cables"...

Then yous don't need to ask anyone here. Go alee and order them, and exist set up to hit the ground running to do your comparison tests.
Brand sure y'all can render the cables no questions asked. Ask upward front virtually restocking fees and cost of return postage. Be aware that if you don't hear a divergence, somone is going to say that you need to "burn in" the cables to hear the improvement. (And the fire in time recommended will inevitably exceed the duration of the no questions asked render period...)
Navigate all those obsticles and you'll practise fine.
Meet ya
Steve
P.S. Merely I even so say it would be a lot better to spend the coin on music. Yous already have a skillful system there from the sounds of information technology.
