Um, while I don't hold with much of the mysticism behind fancy cables, and I refuse to pay Monster's prices, some of the responses above also leave me wondering.

The different twistings DO give different timings. Ever compared specs on CAT5 to CAT3? There's a reason for the different twistings. Now maybe that doesn't matter to 6' runs between amp and speaker in most homes, but...get yer panties out of a bunch.

The "nitrogen-injected" or whatever applies to all coax, I believe. That fluffy white insulation is always "gas-injected" (laymen's term: foam), hardly extraordinary. Leave it to Monster to convince you all that they've snake-oiled you.

And another: "magnetic flux tube". Sounds like a shield with a ridiculous name to me.

Please cut through the hype and educate people, but don't do it with reverse-hype.
