Monster Cable Kicks Butt?

Let me preface this by saying that I'm an avid audiophile thats tried many different cables in all price ranges and have made several of my own.Iv'e been completely neutral on the wires don't make a difference saga also.Anyway I'm between speaker cable and needed something to hook up until the latest arrives so I go and get 20 ft of basic 12ga Monster and some of thier twist lock bananas, $65 bucks total, and hook it up.I was shocked at what came out of the speakers.Tight bass,clean airy highs,no harshness or glare,delightfull! I have McCormack DNA-1 REV A,ARC CD-2,ARC LS 15 and Dynaudio Contour 1.1's all great,accurate gear.Anyway these damn Monsters sound as good as the $1200 cables I just sold!Somebody pinch me please!

They did start all this cable madness! Before the Monster 12 gauge everyone used radio shack 18 gauge or worst.

I guess its like this - Monster sells more cable than all the rest combined - I guess that makes them not good - Right?

The Monsters probably sound different which could mean better for a while but if you put a better cable back in the system it would probably change your mind and sound better again. We all get use to a certain sound and when we hear different we go yeah better but later it too becomes lesser.
