Default New Monster Z200D Digital coax refferenc series cable..

Finally ,This arrived friday and installed it Satuday , I know you all hate Monster , But I like the product, I don't agree with thier bussniess practice. but like the product , It's the better cable at a affordable price for me, & I have been upgrading all of my cables to the Z-Series refference cables. Anyways this cable is built really good as all Z-Series cables and when I hooked it up & threw in Nickleback new cd and Bamm the Bass extention is more difine than before, and the overall sound is just so much better, I am very happy with this improvement and would recommend it to any one using a Digital coax cable, for audio , and the price is very fair compared to alot of other brands out there, actually pretty cheap..LOL,,

Yeah, right. Step away from the kool-aid, dude.

What the Hell is 'Guality', anyway?

If you enjoy them and understand their business practices, more power to you. I don't quite agree with the decision, but if you are happy with it, and feel it sounds better, don't let anybody argue you down.

To all sorry I posted my happiness with my new cables, as to each is own , I like the product and I feel it does what it suppose to do at a affordable cost, as to any ones skelentons in the closet I really don't care , unless it affects me . If you all really knew about alot of big Brand name companies and what they support or do behind closed doors we would not support any of them,, Just my feelings, Do I agree with their bussiness pratacie's , No , but thats life, I guess . But do I like my new Cables Yes.. They are alot cheeper than , Audio Quest , vampire wire & MIT , And so on and I feel good about my system and investment in them ,, I can sleep at night . LOL anyways thanks for the Pros & cons ,

One more for quality at bargain prices: Firefold.com/

I like their motto: "Burning the competition, not your wallet."

Another excellent, high-quality, low-cost alternative to Monster. I've got a component and S-Video cable I purchased from them before I knew about Monoprice, and their quality/performance is excellent.

Grammatical and spelling errors aside, this is just your mind trying to justify the excessive amount of money you spent on your cable.

I'm glad it works well for you and you are happy with it. When it comes down to it, that's all that matters, but I do want to point out something.

There will be ABSOLUTELY NO sound quality difference in monster cable versus any other brand of cable when used to transport digital data. With digital streams, you either get it or you don't. There is no "improvement" in one brand or type of cable over another. If bits are lost, then you get complete audio dropouts, and/or clicking/popping depending on how your receiver handles lost bits. If you are getting clear sound from a $1 cable, then there will be no improvement whatsoever in a $100 Monster cable.

So....your 1's and 0's are higher quality than my 1's and 0's? Digital is digital no matter if you use a $2 coat hanger or $200 monster cable. The signal either gets to where it is going or it doesn't.

Digital coaxial isn't digital guys.
Only DVI, HDMI and iLink are digital.

Are you serious? You contradict yourself with your own post. Perhaps you should read up a little more on the technology.

I would NEVER buy monster cable for a outrageous price. The majority of the money consumer are paying is going to the advertisement not the suppose quality of the cable. I'll pay for a monster brand cable if it was the same price range as MONOPRICE cable. Believe me, I know because I HAVE monster cable that I acquire for free, the sound difference from my standard no name brand cable vs monster, I cannot hear the difference. If I do buy monster cable, I'll buy it for $10 or less. That is how much I think they are worth. JMO!
