I used to have similar cable as this more than a decade ago. That is what I could afford back then. Those shops called it 'hot wires'. It was selling at abt RM5/mtr. Took me 2 months of saving to buy it for my setup.

everyone has it's starting point.

Just make sure you don't get too bad of quality... read: http://connectedhome.com.au/article/down-wire and it will explain everything you need to know about different types of wiring.

I don't hate Monster but I'm not keen on them either. I do think some of their products are good, but the hype and marketing around them is overblown. Pricing is also an issue, but if can get for competitive price then can consider.

I only hv 1 Monster s-video cable....got it for around RM50 from ebay shop....

that one ori or not?

dunno but it does improve the colour for Astro and sharpness too....

You can get Canare 4S11 at Hifi Shop One Utama. RM30 per meter.

I need to know also where to get the Belden 5000UE locally....anyone knows? I need like 100ft

I want to tumpang to ask about Banana Plugs.

Anyone here know where can get good silver Banana plugs (no need solder type)?

another alternative I'm looking for is Belden 1313A which is 10AWG.

maybe we all can share one reel. I need about 50m.

The reason I want 5000UE is bcoz it has the lowest resistance for 12awg cable. Very good for long run to surround speakers. Can buy online from www.bluejeanscable.co.uk but will cost GBP55 for 2 x 15m. Currently using Monster THX 50ft which is 16awg and only effectively good up to 48ft only for running 8 ohm speakers.

Added on June 4, 2009, 1:52 pmI just ring this company. Belden 5000UE for 1000ft roll is RM2600. They don't sell loose. So its RM260 for 100ft which is cheap I think. Anybody wanna share? 10 person 100ft each should be cool unless someone wanted longer length then less person lor...

RM260bucks is even cheaper than buying from bluejeans.

I don't mind getting Belden 5000UE for my surrounds. I can take 150ft.

Maybe we can start a Bulk buy for this.

Anyone else interested.

In Jalan Pasar, there are a few Electrical shops who is clearing their Monster Cables speaker cable. They are selling in rolls and was about RM4.50 per meter, or something to that effect.

Went with a friend about 1 and a half to 2 months back... (age catching up...)

Hope this helps

No one else interested?

1) arremie - 100ft
2) ycs - 150ft

12 AWG is quite thick.. dunno whether my surround terminals can fit or not...

RM 260 is very cheap...

got pic of the cables?

actually, the more suitable cable would be Belden 1311A



5000UE

That is what Belden recommended. My choice was based on bluejeanscable.com but I saw the spec for both is quite close.

what the price of Belden 1311A?
