I just snagged the last roll in Bay City, MI. There was a kid

standing there looking at all the speaker wires and I went around him

and snagged it from under his nose. Yoink!! Looks like good

quality stuff, especially for $9.97.

I was at RS recently, and they had the Monster Cable THX optical and coaxial wires on sale down from 79 to $9. I grabbed them, like I need one more cable. I hooked them in, I want them to sound better, not sure I could tell a difference, but they look cool and sure were cheap...

That's a good point. I often have stated during wire "snake-oil" discussions that you would feel better about not being able to tell the difference between these cables if you paid the econo price for them when they go on sale or on ebay.

My initial post to this thread made reference to the wire that was on sale vs the cost of lamp cord. It was very close in costs, and yes, the HP-XP stuff looks lots better than lamp cord.

eye of the beholder...

If it was a great supposed "value" people usually say they can hear a difference. When you have "inferior" and then buy "superior" then they usually go "OMG its so different like night and day"
