Monster Regret!!


Good morning to the community!  Years ago, when I was much younger and a whole lot dumber, I bought into all the Monster cable hype.  I even went as far as purchasing their Monster Power AVS 2000 voltage stabilizer and HTS 5000 reference power center.  I’m currently saving my ducats for a PS Audio DirectStream Power Plant 15 and intend to install a dedicated line shortly. 

I am listening to Martin Logan 11As driven by PS Audio BHK 300 monoblocks.  I have the amps connected via a normal 120v home outlet.  My question, should I use the Monster Power stuff for my speakers, pre/pro, etc. or go to another outlet directly to the components? 

 

Many thanks!

But if the story is true why would Noel Lee sue BJC? I thought he only went after companies who infringed in the name Monster? 
Why would he sue BJC? Did they have a Monster in their blue jeans?
I was at dinner in Vegas with Noel Lee, Bob Crump and John Curl back in 2000, I recall he suggested I use an accelerometer to measure seismic vibes for my sub hertz platform, which is obviously a very good idea. I was just happy to be there, it was my first rodeo. 🤠

Noel Lee born 1948 (age 71)
San Francisco, California
Lee graduated from California Polytechnic State University with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and subsequently did work in laser fusion for the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. He quit his engineering job in 1974 to play drums for a country rockband. After the band separated, he founded Monster Cable Products in 1979, based on loudspeaker cables he invented and manufactured in his garage.
