Monster Cable.

Quaunaut

<div class="IPBDescription">o.o</div> Two questions:

Does the brand name not matter with monster cable? Is it only the AWG?

...and where can I get some 12 AWG cable, for a low price(i.e. give me anything below 100 dollars).

Wow... it's almost like you're speaking english! wow man, whoa... that's so freaky, it's almost identical to english, swear to god.


however, Monster cable is.. the devil.. i think there have been many threads on this in the past, i just thought i'd remind everyone.

There's always froogle:

Why would anyone pay $100 for cable?

Monster cable is for sound, not for internet. It provides sound quality difference that is matched only by an upgrade in actual speakers.

I know Radioshack has it for well under $100 I guess it depends on you need bulk amounts of cable or just a little bit.

Why not make some? All you need is a large amount of rubber, a large amount of solid gold/copperorwhareverelseisinem and a few friends. Just have a huge tug-of-war with the raw metal until it is stretched into a thin and flecible wire, then cover it with the rubber somehow, ta-da!

Also, I'd say that Monster Cable isn't worth the money, but I don't play music, I play drums. So I wouldn't really know.

I've never had any problems with any audio cable that I've ever bought, regardless of price. Seriously, unless you've got a very top of the line audio system, wouldn't it be much more cost effective to put your money into better speakers or a better amp/soundcard, instead of into cables? Do $15 cables really give worse sound than $100 cables?

We had tried 2 other types of cables including the radio shack ones,

one set had a short, replaced it, had another short, got different cables, something else wasnt right, got monster cables, work fine.
