RE:
Monster Cables are fine for box store components
Unfortunately, Monster cables lack the more current design approaches and are not capable of making any components sound significantly better
But well designed cables will provide a significant boost, even to those box store components, since today’s box store components actually perform much better than most people believe.
E.G. years ago I purchased a $300 mini system
- the bass was blosted and not well defined
- imaging was non existent
- details were distorted
- adding good a power cable and speaker cables fixed all of those issues and now it performs way above it’s modest price point
Even simply adding a very good power cable to my Bluesound Pulse Mini Speaker had the salesperson at the store wondering what I had done.
Bottom line: regardless of the component, box store or high end hifi, well designed cables can make a significant imrpovement
Personally, I build my own cales from sratch, but if DIY is NOT your thing, then try
- Audio Envy
- Zavfino
- Hijiri - for those high end audiophile components
