i've heard of numerous cases of monster cables crapping out after awhile, personally, the connectors on the RCA-1/4" monster cables i have were extremely tight and broke off after awhile. they still work,but not exactly confidence inspiring.
in any case..monster cables are way overpriced and i will never buy another monster cable after reading this link: http://www.monstergreed.com/Index with info about MC.htm
talk about questionable business ethics..

I bought mine for $12.50 at davis... Think its 10 feet long
There seem to be a grudge by those people in the states against m0nster cables. Apparently, they launched some lawsuits against some small companies, educational included over the term "m0nster".
Anyway, I've people say they crap out. Rather than get them, get evidence audio. Expensive as well. But just much better in terms of value.

actually, just wipe the silver tips 1 properly will do.. the gold plated ones are really over priced... no diff as long as u keep ur heads clean by wiping the oxidised stuff hard with a cloth...almondx said:

Just go to Davis and buy some colorful cables...they're only 8 dosh!
I think the most important thing here is still tone. People talk about how this cable adds too much midrange to their tone, or it seems to make their tone sterile and so on so forth. Those guys are not kidding you. They CAN hear it.
Some things don't scrimp. $6 for 5 patch cables? Yeah, right, now that is some really bad stuff.
So bottom line, get what your ears tell you to get.

no actually, it's because i prefer the thicker housing of the cable heads and not the gold tips which swayed my decision. the tips were just a bonus. The cable heads just seems alot more solid with the thicker plastic housing for gold ones than the normal thin ones.

go read up about the myths of cables online...the only supposedly benefit of gold-plated connectors is their supposed higher resistance to corrosion.
i use planet waves cables..not because of sound but the fact that the cables tend to be very well behaved and dont tangle easily,plus they have the little elastic band attached that holds the coils together when coiled up. excellent idea.
the luther patch cables are excellent as well..havent had a single problem so far.
on the subject of lousy cables degrading tone...i actually like the treble attenuation that some cables,especially long ones give. i believe that was quite the part of hendrixes' tone as well..the coiled cables and all.
