QUOTE(arremie @ Jul 15 2009, 04:29 PM) monoprice cable looks just like cable sold at ace hardware. the copper does not look shiny like ofc copper.  QUOTE(arremie @ Jul 15 2009, 05:14 PM) haha not me. a friend bought and i dont like the look of that 14awg copper. it works well though just not as pretty  QUOTE(milo-o @ Jul 15 2009, 06:59 PM) to certain extent, i agree with u bro. speaker cables are kinda funny things, when u have spent few thousand $ or even tens of thousand $ in your AV setup, u really feel like spending few hundreds on cables is very petty, and only with those cables the setup is 'complete', regardless if the cables really have significant effect. To me personally, it's some kinda psychology effect. But afterall, i will still spend those $ exactly what was on my mind when i saw those cables at monoprice....nope, i'm not the son of a multi-millionaire and i'm far away from being one myself, but, just like the car i'm driving..based on the cost of the price, somehow, u just feel like a RM600-RM700 tires would make ur drive feels better...how much better? i really can't tell..not a pro driver... similarly, am no expert in AV or HT, but if i'm spending RM7k on speakers, and then put cap ayam (with all due respect to monoprice cables) cables on them...seems a bit off... but at the same time, not looking for those that cost me an arm + both my legs...just decent...decent enough for me to know the cables i'm using aint exactly pro type, and yet, not really cap ayam...just to feel better...cables in the region of RM10/m is decent enough for me...and just within budget.. any other choice other than monoprice? i keep seeing this ad banner on lowyat.net -> JPS Lab...anyone tried this before? i dunno what happened but the last time i clicked on that banner...something pops up and was installing itself...i had to hard reset my pc after that...luckily..nothing wrong.. |

its really not about how it looks...the cables are either gonna be concealed in the ceiling & wall or behind the entire system..hardly visible at all...
is really just a comfort to know ur cables are decent...not high-end type tat wouldn't make too much difference to a noobie's ear (like mine) |

honestly, i can't hear the difference...i was using generic cables for my front speakers before...then i bot Cable Talk cables after reading its review on WHF mag (many moons ago in UK) i even bot a bi-wire pair for the front...
to me...there's no difference....but then again...am no expert..some pro ppl may be able to hear differences no matter how subtle...but, not me... and to be honest...since i dont make a living out of watching tv/movies & listening to music...i'm actually ok with decent cables... if u can actually hear the differences...kudos to u...it means u got really high maintanence pair of ears |
