I do not agree with Monster's business practices and will not support them or buy their products.

Doesn't anyone sell Belden 50m rolls

Some of those shops selling electronic parts might carry Belden.

As for hi-fi shops, Musical Image has the Belden 8471 for RM9/m.

jchong - location please, I have just moved back to KL and still getting to know my way around

thanks

more why not Monster: http://www.somethingawful.com/d/news/monster-monsters.php

I agree with you about Monster, I'm not keen on their business practices. Moreover I believe their stuff is overpriced.

Can try buy online :

Mind to share , how much you bought it?

wow you really against Monster but of course its your right to do so and I have no objection whatsoever

I bought 30ft roll for about RM160. Then got free nice umbrella coz promotion at the time. Not sure about 50ft roll. I like the fact that this cable really flexible and easy to route thru corner.

*50ft roll is RM209

Thanks for the info, a lot of thing need to upgrade, have to got more info to get the cheaper stuff.

I can't tell people to boycott them, but the links should be sufficient for people to make up their own minds

Unfortunately their marketing, like B*se is very good and they are easy to buy anywhere and despite being somewhat(?) overpriced generally people still buy them

Couldn't agree more with you, bro.

Btw, have you got your cables?

For my surround I just bought jalan pasar 6ringgit/m which are flat. wanted to get the monsters but they were out of stock at HN. bought 20M's so far so good.

not yet - will visit jalan pasar tomorrow, 6/m flat sounds good... if can get 4/m normal cables even better

Since you are running a longer run, make sure you get at least 16awg or bigger cable (14, 12, etc and not above 16 coz the size will be smaller).

have to balance between SQ for surrounds, length and keeping the visibility as low as possible...

I'm also looking for similar 'economical' cables.

How about this:

Is that 16AWG?

from here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_wire_gauge

16AWG is about 1.2mm sq

1.55mm sq is somewhere between 14 and 15AWG
