Thread: monster cable - is it really worth it?

Well, if it like 30-40 buck, then maybe it worth but not 90 buck. Hey, if you have a nice stereo setup, picky about sound, and lot of spare $$$$, it's worth.
I got a 12 feet for less than 15 buck and I am happy with it.
As a general rule, Do not run RCA cable along with the power cable because it will create lot of noise.

if you have like $2000 worth of stuff, 1500+ wattts..along those lines then yes you should get the expensive *** monster cables. Otherwise other stuff will work fine.. like those $20 cables you see in bestbuy.

Not really. The difference that it would make above cheaper brand is lost in the auto environment.
I have a few audiophile friends that say they can hear the difference between signal cable quality on their home systems. I personally cannot hear / see the difference. But each to their own.
If you want to spend the money, go for it, but I think you will find the cheaper cables will be just as good, especially in a car.

I wasted money on monster cable RCA's,, although they are very sweet looking, and people always comment on them, I honestly could not tell a difference in sound quality between a set of $65 wires, and $5 wires,, I would not recommend them, unless you are trying to make a show-car clean installation (which I do NOT have by any means)

(don't tell anyone I am using the slightly better than $3 radioshack cables)

Atleast use shielded rca cables, mine was about $25

I have been getting all my cables from thezeb.com - awesome customer service, prices, shipping, etc...

And yes, I usually get the high quality cables.
