Re: [L-OT] Boycott Monster Cables!

In a way, yes, but look at it the other way: there are several companies
(such as Acoustic Research, which is what I use) that make equal- or
similar- quality cabling for half the price of Monster cables. Add to this
Monster's dubious business practices (which I won't get into here, as it
would open a whole new debate about the current state of
over-over-over-over litigation in the world today, as expemplified in the
Denver Post article) and I would quite simply never purchase any of their
products under any circumstances.

Monster cables certainly don't suck (in the way that Radio Shack does!)
but they're quite simply not worth the price for that quality level. If
you step up to Mogami, etc. then you're no longer comparing apples to
oranges, because Monster and Mogami are not in the same league at all.

My .02,
Brian
