Monster Cables are fine for box store components, but for high-end audio there are much better sonic affordable cable choices like Audio Envy.

I thought Bruce Brisson (MIT CABLES) designed the early high end Monster cables like the M2.2's, etc. 

RE:

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

I have to agree. Plus, it does not take $3000.00 cables to make a component sound better (I’m talking most people’s systems, not the ultra expensive $100,000 + systems---thats a world I have no experience in).

I find that Power cables make a big difference. I upgraded my First WATT and PS Audio power cables to ZU Event’s. The positiveresults were due of a more quiet noise floor hat the new cables provided.. I felt more of the "sound" was not being held back due to whatever electrical interference that was happening in my particular room. Sounds seem to come out of NOWHERE vs a slight faint hiss/buzz. I can only imagine what a dedicated, conditioned direct power line could do.
