Review 1 of 61

Price Paid:  $20.00 from auction

Summary:
I bought thinking that the monster name was a good name, and well it does seem to be a well known name. Monster is kinda like bose...i.e. a lot ot of talk with no action. They know how to sell products. I compared The Monster bass wire with a cheapo from Radio shack...there was no difference. By by comparing I dont just mean plugging them into a sub and listining (which is valuable no doubt) but I also tested them on an electronic level not many poeople do, and again there was no diff. I say dont waste your money.

Strengths:
nice looking.

Weaknesses:
well it did look nice, ....and thats about it. cold soldering by the way means they mechanicly crimped them, definitly not the best way to teriminate cables.

Review 2 of 61

Price Paid:  $0.00 from best buy

Summary:
This is for a THX Ultra 2m subwoofer cable. It replaced a cheap 5m cable from AR on a Philips subwoofer left over from a theater in a box system (boomy, inarticulate bass). All I have to say is that even with this bottom of the pile subwoofer, I noticed a difference in response. How good? I won't know because the sub had its numerous limitations. So I took the cable back because it was worth $90 CAD, more than the sub itself. I now have a much better subwoofer and I will try the Monster Bass 1000 sub cable soon, I'm sure it will not disapoint me ... The Monster Sigma Retro Gold cables left me speechless, see my review for them. Note, my value rating is low only because the cable cost $100 CAD after taxes and I could not readily asses its potential due to my subwoofer. Also, I could not effectively assess this cable's sonic qualitiy for the same reason. But if anybody wants to buy Monster's products, buy their higher end stuff, their regular line is very overpriced.

Strengths:
notable improvement with poor quality equipment

Weaknesses:
unable to determine due to quality of subwoofer used

Review 3 of 61

Price Paid:  $33.00 from BARRY ELECTRONICS

Summary:
i cant possibly understand who these people are saying this cable doesnt make a difference.because it made a big difference on my SW.i think alot of it has to do with people owning a 149.99 pioneer reciever or something.cuz i am running a yamaha receiver that cost 1500.00.before i was using acoustic research cables and my sub sounded sloppy and muddy on some movies and the LFE effects didnt come through too good.so i bought the monster cable thx subwoofer cable and now i have clean punchy powerful bass.and it is not real boomy anymore.so needless to say this cable makes a difference.

Strengths:
power punch and clarity

Weaknesses:
none

Review 4 of 61

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
I've read so many good things about this cable and how it actually works and makes your sub sound better. I wanted to see if everything i read was true so i bought one and hooked it up as soon as i got home. I tested it with movies and music and i was a bit dissapointed as i was expecting more from such an expensive cable. It didn't make my sub sound any better with cheap cables or the Acoustic Research sub cable i was using before. The only good thing about it is the construction of the cable is good but other than that it don't sound any better than the cheaper stuff.

Strengths:
Good quality

Weaknesses:
expensive and doesn't sound any better than cheaper cables

Review 5 of 61

Price Paid:  $29.00 from eBay

Summary:
I have two subs in my system, M&K MX90 and a Velodyne HGS-15. Both are on 4 meter cables right in the middle of walls on either side of sofa. Velodyne never sounded all that accurate or tight despite it's servo feedback. Came here and read the reviews. Purchased cables in spite of being skeptical. Result? WOW!!!Bass is tight with superb delineation. I'm a believer now.

Strengths:
Price vs performance. THX. Includes Y adapter. (necessary for HGS-15)

Weaknesses:
You tell me?

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
