I still use 30 ft runs of Monster Cable PowerLine II

In Reply to: Monster Sigma 2000 spkt cables/IC's Overpriced.$300 is way too much. Try $80 posted by Smelly_Socks on March 24, 2016 at 21:05:14:

Tinned the ends with silver solder in a solder pot. The spades I used were gold plated copper. I filed all the gold off. Just need to clean the spades from time to time. They'd be 30 years old now.

I did a shootout over 10 years ago vs Cardas and Harmonic Technologies. 2 Metre lengths so I had to move my components to the floor close up between the speakers. Trust me when I say I really wanted to hear a difference. Nothing jumped out at me at the time either way. Was disappointed!

I've upgraded some components since then. Quite a bit actually. Still the cables were revealing enough for me and in fact the whole household to notice the component insertion.

Likely I would hear differences if I repeated the shootout now. All the brands have upgraded material/technology.

But the fact that these Monsters still reveal to me changes like tube brands, caps, and fuse nuances, I'll pocket the money for now. They were $5 a foot back then.

Cheers!
