I only buy Monster Cable from Best Buy.

I can't believe some people still fall for flyingpig's trolling. It's beyond obvious what he's trying to achieve, and he actually achieves it. Apparently not everyone knows this.

An extremely annoying, inconsiderate person most commonly associated with Harley riders who also enjoys baiting people into posting inflammatory remarks on internet forums? 😕
 
I agree, Monster cables are somewhat better. But I would not get them at Best Buy unless you like overpaying. Order them on line and save $$

Who was it that compared that $50,000 speaker wire made from gold to copper wire coat hangers to a bunch of people that couldn't tell a single difference?

Point is that just because a cable costs an arm and a leg and has all these "advanced shielding and transferring technologies" doesn't mean that its still not a length of wire connecting point A to point B. That .50 cent HDMI cable with free shipping from China that you got on eBay is no worse than that 6 foot $150 HDMI Monster Cable...they're both copper wire...simple enough.

awhile back, someone on here made a post about some other post they found on a different forum. About some kid that bought some kind of $50,000 power cable for his computer system. That kid went on to say how that cable improved his computer sound and etc.

Best Buy strives to bring you the highest quality products at the lowest prices. This is the reason they supply Macs and Monster Cable at the lowest possible price. Sure they could charge $200 for Monster Cable, but by charging only $100 they realize that making a razor thin profit on these fine cables is the best policy for its customers. In exchange for making razor thin profits on Macs and Monster Cable, they hope that you will buy some cokes or chips on the way out to augment their bottom line.

Make sure you buy the service plan for those. Best Buy will replace them with BRAND NEW ones with zero hassle should something happen to your monster cables.

Thanks for the suggestion rudder, and I wholeheartedly agree. If you are going to invest in quality cables for your electronic items, it is worth spending another $50 or so to protect your investment. You never know when something might happen that might make you wish you had a Best Buy extended service and replacement plan for your gold plated, $100 cables.

Yeah, I feel guilty about their profit margin sometimes so I grab a can of Rockstar at the checkout entrance. I don't even let them scan my reward zone card because that's even cutting more into their margin. I figure that if they go out of business, it would be hard to find high quality items like these.
 
I am one of those people who truly appreciates great cable. Monster Cable is just a low priced crappy product for those not really into great sound.

My cables are made only from elemental copper found high in the Andes Mountains. It is smelted in a crucible that was used once and discarded.

No crappy guage measurements for me. I use 6 inch think cables that have to be individually bent my a master copper worker, on site in my home.

Then Lockheed engineers come and encase my cables in EMP nuclear blast rated sheathing. Sure its bulky. You must make sacrifices for great sound. In fact my speakers will still be playing pure, unadulterated sound right up to the point they reach 2000 degrees fahrenheit from a 1.2 megaton nuclear blast located 3 feet from my speakers.

Some people might think 30 million dollars or so is overkill, but come the nuclear holocaust I will get great sound at least a couple of milliseconds longer than my neighbor. Who, by the way, has cheapo Monster Cables.
