jimbobo Posted March 29, 2001 Share Posted March 29, 2001 I was looking for a good sounding speaker cable for under $1.50/ft. I was thinking about carol command studio grade, original monster cable, or rat shack megacable. Has anyone had experience with any of these?

Mighty Favog Posted April 3, 2001 Share Posted April 3, 2001 I bought a bunch of, not Mega-Cable but Original Monster Cable (12ga.) from Rat Shack for forty-nine cents a foot! Though they do carry both. Had plenty of cash left over for 24k gold banana clips from Monster as well. The bass is great. The cable itself is not at all stiff like some smaller gauges. I did have a little trouble getting onto the binders on the receiver though. I compared prices with a not-so-local Klipsch authorized dealer (a rather snooty one at that) called Carlin Audio in Dayton, Ohio and they wanted about $1.60 for the same stuff. Best Buy wanted $65 a 50ft. roll. I have documented excellent hearing and I still don't put much stock in those mega-priced cables ($300-$2000 for two 8ft. sections). ------------------ Tom KLF-20 Mahogany Carver Receiver MXR-150 Yamaha PF-800 Turntable/ Sure V15 Type V Cartridge Carver TL-3100 CD Yamaha K-1020 Cassette dbx 1231 EQ dbx 3bx Series Two (mothballed) H.H.

jimbobo Posted April 4, 2001 Author Share Posted April 4, 2001 I was going to try the geometry but, in a recent visit to radio shack they had pre-terminated (bannana plugs)12ga OFC 20ft. for $4 per wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
