  • "Monster" cables

    A local shop recommended these to me. They're not cheap at £60 a throw. Anyone here use them?

    They're overpriced. The Monster brand was once a sign of quality, but the past 5-6 years or so they've just been putting their name on regular cables and charging 300% more.

        I've used monsters, I still have a few around somewhere.. They're an OK cable but if you shop around you can get better quality for about the same premium price. That being said I don't have any monster cables that I would consider "bad", just not the best value.

            Try George L cables there great! you can really tell a differance. Also have monster studio links gold tips for the fx loops. Cables make a big differance.

              Want the very best ? Get Analysis Plus.

              Their yellow flex is the best mix of price and performance.

              They have a proprietary design. They sound better than any other cable period. But they are expensive. I paid $129 for a 15'

                the only thing that makes moster cables worth it, is their return policy. if anything happens to the cable, you can mail it back and they'll send you a new one, no questions asked. other than that... buy dimarzio cable.

                  Why mail it back? Just walk into any shop that sells them and exchange it.

                    a lot of MC dealers are no longer participating in that program.

                        Really? That's interesting. Wonder why. Guess they're too lazy to send it back to MC.

                            Planet Wave cables seem to coil up easily, hence I stopped buying them.

                              is that a concern, moving from one side of the bedroom to the other?
