Hahahahahaha... this is really funny. What would be better, would be to use cables w/o the Monster branding. Even those $100+ cables (Monster) are completely unecessary. The whole espensive cable, audio/video-phile crap is the perfect poster child moment for people with money and little thought. Hey, if some wanker wants to spend $7500 on cables, let them. It is just the poor sods that actually spend money on Monster cables that get my heart, as they really can't afford this crap, and the $28 box of Terk 18G cable (100') would do just as well.

And the marketing scam goes on and on. Perpetuating myth is their only lifeblood, be it negative or positive publicity.

Sometimes you get what you pay for; I agree that cables are not a good example of that. Monster has some great marketing and retail penetration, but they too are overpriced. Check this place out if you need cables: http://www.knukonceptz.com/
eBay is also another way to go; cables are one of those consumer items for which the placed purchased is of little concern. The CEO of Pear blows donkey cock for backing out. He knows what we know apparently, they are not worth $7.5k.
