This thread gets the "Troll" seal of approval I reckon.

You're not very good at identifying trolling.

But I thank you for continuing to post and prove me correct.

Monster does make a quality cable, no doubt. But they are extremely overpriced. You are paying a premium ( a large premium) just for the name.

monoprice.com or bluejeanscable.com (personal favorite) delivers equal to or better than monster performance at a fraction of monster's price. The biggest reason they sell a ton of Monster cables is marketing.

Thats the same reason why the layman thinks the Bose is a good value.

Places like Best Buy and the like really push Monster because of a 75% to 85% mark up in the cables. They make a tone of money on these cables.

Simply put, if you like the "bragging rights" to your average buddies and dont mind spending 70% more for them... buy some Monster cables and hook up your Bose system. They will work great and the sound and video will be top notch... but, If you want to impress the people who know and live and breathe audio / video...... stop wasting money on overpriced equipment and spend you money more wisely. Like on a new 2:35to1 lens for your new front projection system.

IMO

Some of my cables I make, depending on what Beldon or Canare you like are the same as most of Blue Jeans cables. Same Canare ends.

For less....
