only cost a few moredollars, well worth it. had some sound cutting out issues with some cheaper cables from a retailstore (b.b) upgraded to monster & problem solved.
Very clean decoding and uninterrupted signal- it's a terrific interconnect that makes the rest of the system shine. I used this cable to upgrade an older optical connector and the performance of this Monster cable is outstanding.
But this one looks much cooler, and construction IS top notch. All in all construction seems really nice on this cable, connector tips look very nice.Again, I wouldn't pay full price for this, and that's not to say they might not be worth it, but I know for a fact I do NOT have the hear to honestly say I can hear a difference between this and a regular old belkin/wirelogic/phillips etc Fiber Optic Cable. Did not purchase this on Amazon, saw it on a electronics store website for $9.00 bucks plus shipping, thought what the heck.Price is back up there, and I don't really know why they were so cheap, they came brand new/sealed etc. Quality seems great, the connectors is on some type of spring, as you can move it slightly back and forth, seems pretty high tech, even if it doesn't do anything, but I don't know.The jacket material is a very firm mesh type, not sure what's it's called, but not your typical plenum or PVC.
Best bet is to get a used or open-box one from a place like Ebay, for much less. I got one of these for $16.97, on clearance at Radio Shack (from $69.99). At this price, it was worth it, but I could never pay $50 for one.
Definately worth the investment. I just changed to all fiber optic cable for my audio connections. Monster has really created an outstanding product.
