Do you believe the " Monster Myth " ??

monoprice for me!

Oh lordy, I think we need to add HDMI cables to the FAQ file, any cable is good, the cheaper the better.

Beating a dead horse... bringing up/asking something that has been discussed a thousand times before

Hey, I got Monster Component cables sitting behind my system.

would I spend an arm and a leg for an HDMI (digital) cable...

I run HDMI1000 cables from ps3->amp->tv. Just because I work at an electronics shop, so I get awesome prices

...but would you pay full price if you had too?

bkbluray · 01-24-2008, 09:34 PM

You don't have to pay $100, or even $20 to get a good quality HDMI cable. A cord is a cord. When picking a TV, however, it would be good to be selective...

I use the official Sony PS3 cable for PS3 and Monster cable for Home Theater.

I don't mind spending some money on my cables but monster is ridiculously overpriced.
I use these and they work great and the build quality is excellent. http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showd...number=181-736

If you keep an eye on them they go on sale. I paid 60.00 for my 4 meter one.

guitarist155 · 01-24-2008, 11:08 PM

for my guitar i use monster because of the warranty( i break it, i walk in to a store and they hand me a new one ), analog i get from custom places and use canere or mogami, digital i will prob get from bluejeans cable for long distance

my home theater will probably never see a monster cable

Biggest crock I've ever seen.

3 grades of RCA audio cables?

$20 for two sets of banana plugs?

$119 for a 9 foot HDMI cable?

What a hustle.

djluis2k6 · 01-25-2008, 12:01 AM

You know while you can still get a good Pioneer, Awia or other branded Home Theatre Systems, I always stick with Sony, so yeah, I go with Monster cables as well. I use them with my home theatre system, turntable set-up and HDMI cables.
