Correction: There seems to be 3 generations of the Monster M1000i Interconnect Cable. I have the 2nd and 3rd generation.
2nd Generation: Gray jacket with the following lettering: "Monster Cable. Interlink M1000-2.0 Sonic Reference Standard High Resolution Precision Wound "Total Bandwidth Balanced" Audion Interconnect Cable with MicroFiber. 1 Ft. Signal Flow ->"
3rd Generation: Charcoal-black jacket with silver-lettering: "M-Series. M1000i. Ultimate Performance 3-Way Bandwidth Balanced Time Correct Multi-Twist Audio Interconnect Cable with MicroFiber and PFX by Monster Cable. 1 ft. Signal Flow >>>"
I have the M1000 cable, just lying around now as a spare cable. Great cable for smoothing out edgy systems I have (3) .5 meter lengths. Sometimes in a pinch I use them for digital coaxial cables for sources like TV. I want to sell these at some point and buy some networked cables.
I will have to check with my friends at MIT cables but I think Bruce Brisson may have designed this cable before he left to start his own company.
The m1000 are directional. If the tape with the directional arrows are missing than look on the cable lettering and make sure the lettering is running toward your pre amp or receiver . If you reading the lettering and it is going toward your amp that is right.
New generation Monster cable PM1000 MKII come with black mesh cover outer jacket great white turbine 24k gold RCA connectors great sound imaging interconnect, better than sonic M1000 and no mesh cover jacket.
