      Agreed, monster cable is the garbage of the cable industry.

        Nothing really special about the end. Just cut the whole end off and reterminated it with the connection of your choice.

          On the upside its lifetime warranty. A local retailer should replace it for you if not call Monstercable in SF and they will take care of you.

            Bruce, I replaced every cable I had a few months ago. I was helped out with all the decisions on types etc., along w/what equipment I had. Very pleasureable and professional transaction. BTW, all of the cables that were replaced were the funny ones that started w/the letter "M"......dg

              I agree, if I had bought them, I'd be disappointed too. But I did'nt, they were purchased by a bud, and he said "try these", and like a dope I did. Now I have to replace something that I would'nt have bought in the first place. Maybe I'll just make a noose out of the broken one and kick the chair out from under me.

                Meltdown, I was the great consumer and bought all my original cables simply on the knowledge from word of mouth and advertising, blah,blah blah. It cost me a lot of money, and believe me I learnt my lesson. I dont make purchases like that anymore, I like to research everything and take it from there. Hope you get a quick fix w/your problem and good luck....dg

                  Meltdown,

                  Your best bet is to call support and request an RMA.

                  If not, contact Doug the owner of Cat Cables, great quality and good bang for the buck. Remember buy cheap, buy twice.

                  Also, just a humble reminder, you must limit your discussions on brand naming cables (please read the forum rules), since the Cat Cables is the owner of this forum. Good luck.

                  Peace and blessings,

                  Azeke

                    If you were able to truly compare their internal construction to many other cables available in the marketplace today you would understand why I (and many many others) will never touch them. Most of the audio specfic forums caution against buying this brand. They are also grossly overpriced for their quality as well.

                    Just IMO of course, but I've seen more than 20 years of comparisons.

                      Bruce, you hit that right on the nose. I am assuming with the size of that company that I wasn't the only "sucker". Strength in numbers I guess.

                        I'm a beleiver in good quality speaker wires, just not fanatic about it ...

                        So I'm passing thru Circuit City and they have a demo station set up for Monster speaker wire. You can switch between a 50 ft spool of their wire and one of some scrawny generic wire and hear the difference....

                        How bad is Monster Cable compaired to slightly more expensive cable that is $3 or $4 per foot? I am considering the Kimber Cable 4VS. How ever I also heard of some wire called CAT, but dont know price or where to buy it.
