Monster pwr conditioners----your thoughts?

My problem with Monster Cable is that they mistakenly believe that they now are the trademark owners of the word "MONSTER", and aggressively file suit against ANY company that uses the word Monster, whether the product has anything to do with cables, or electronics, for that matter.

Due to their "deep pockets", they usually win, because other companies cannot "pony up" the gargantuan legal fees involved.

I prefer not to do business with a corporation who thinks they can "own" a common word in the English language.

My unit fried and was replaced for free. I didn't like the fact that it couldn't be repaired. It was not put back in my system.

Thanx,

Ahh more food for thought. I have not tried any Monster product as of yet and thought of a purchase for there conditioners. I do like the fact that they label the inputs according to what componets you may have on hand.

Monster power conditioners mainly treat the upper frequencies and do it well. Much audio noise is contained in the upper frequencies. The better power conditioners treat all frequencies and that does make for an improvement over Monster designs, but yes they cost more. My Furutech was an improvement over my Monster 350. So, I'd say the Monster power centers are a good value. Sorry to say their cables don't fare well when compared to many other mid priced brands.

Who said it couldn't be repaired? It is probably quicker and less hassle to you to have a new one sent out, and then possible repair it and call it "B" stock.

So you complain that you got a new unit. Strange logic.
