Price Paid:  $60.00 from HHGregg

Summary:
I went into HHgregg for the first time and I saw these odd looking containers scattered about the store. They were Acoustic Research Master Series cables! I use AR HT cables now, which in my opinion are far better then anything Monster Cable makes. And they are cheaper as well. I know there are very, very pricey and well deserved cables out there but spending thousands of dollars on a cable just doesn''t seem logical when you could put that $$ towards something else that would surely improve your theatre more then a cable might. Anyways, I read some reviews at other sites and was intrigued. I went back to the store a few days later and bought the 6ft Toslink and the Master Series 10 gauge speaker cable :o). I immediately heard a difference when just swapping the Toslinks. Ofcourse I''ll let it break in but it already sounds more airy and natural. THe cable itself is very thick, I assume its shielding is superb. And I know noone sees the cables but it is beautiful! I highly recommend these Master Series, and for those that still run out and waste money on Monster Cable, PLEASE let your ears be the judge, do your own review.
