Even if working at their optimum, the Monster cable designs of that time were all high capacitance, and so had limited high frequency extension and a "congested" sound character. A strong "sell" recommendation, and upgrade your cables with a more contemporary design; you can't lose.

I have been schlepping around a circa 1986 pair of Monster Cable M-1 and M-1000 cables for years. They were very pricey in their day and have sounded fine to me in a variety of systems, mainly with a Jadis Pre amp and an Aragon 4004. Does anyone know this cable? Some people have said this was a pre MIT, Brisson designed high end cable and others have suggested I am hopelessly out of date and desperate for an upgrade.
