Comparison vs stuff you can actually buy

Comment comment by Brandon on 19 March 2008

This experiment is rather flawed. So what if coat hanger wire works just as well? It's not like it's a viable replacement for most people. Not only would it be difficult to route, but time has to be invested to manually manufacture the wire. (That would be an interesting article: Make your own stereo cables out of hangers.) Then there are questions about durability, reliability, safety, etc.

If they want to test how "worth it" the Monster cables are - at least from an audio quality perspective - then they need to do the same A/B comparison with cheaper wires. To get the whole picture, they need to address the string of issues I mentioned above.

I think the point of the experiment was not viability - but to snuff the audiophiles that believe there is some inherent special quality to the Monster cable to produce a "better sound."
