because they do things like this, and this, and this, and this, and this... need I go on? on the USPTO (US Patent and trademark office, there are numerous requests filed/attempted to file by Monster Cable for injunctions against smaller companies to stop using their brand name or pay them a license fee if the company or product name has the word Monster in it.

it's called time management and multitasking. perhaps you have heard of these concepts?


anyway, I do not consider taking time to educate people a waste of time

I'm using one of these, but shorter length


even with vPost shipping I think it will be cheaper than any brand name cable you can buy locally. Perhaps you can gather some other people who maybe interested and make a bulk order

oh hey I didn't know about that guy... good price and less hassle than ordering from Monoprice.

you would think not, but it really depends on your system as a whole (source, DAC, amplification, speakers, cables, room). If it is highly resolving you can perhaps hear a difference. I doubt it makes a difference in mid range HT systems. And it won't be something you can hear very obviously either. So for HT intents and purposes, as long as the cable is not broken and properly manufactured (shielding, impedance etc within spec) cables don't differ.

However... http://db.audioasylum.com/cgi/m.mpl?forum=...ht=modwright&r=

or here.. http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/cables/messages/115776.html

or here http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/cables/messages/115763.html

the upshot is it may not be digitally measurable, but certainly audible.

My take is

1) the system as a whole should be balanced, there is no point using Nordost Valhalla i/cs (US$3300/m pair) to connect a Marantz CD63 to a Cambridge Audio amplifier... and

2) cables are the last thing you tweak after bringing your equipment to the same "level" - including treating the room (this has more effect on the sound than anything else other than speakers)

the correct response is "in my system, there was no discernible difference'

look at it this way - would you use a coax or toslink? why choose one over the other?

I find that some things in audio ... and even in real life, do not make sense some of the time

thing is if you are using cap ayam (digital interconnect, or HDMI) cable and it works for you don't have to gatal2 go and try expensive cable. Because you might hear or see a difference and that could make you dissatisfied

see below

it's not as if you don't have an internet connection - do some more research next time. Monoprice cables are just as good if not better, and someone here is selling them. You don't really want to know how much...

be careful with monster cable especially on ebay

If your typical asphalt road can take vehicles going at 300 mph it doesn't mean that you'll ever drive that fast

1.3 - 1.2 = 0.1

still Monoprice.

If you want local, look back in this thread someone is selling.

here http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=815300

ever hear the saying... "There's a sucker born every minute.."

I meant that he should be able to sell his Monster cable for $250... except that it probably won't be here on LYN

if someone goes to Jln Pasar, please check to see if they have Glass optical cables. the ones selling are generally plastic material

and yet it still uses duct tape for splicing

just kidding la
