I own a set of the 1 meter Reference 2 cables, and I would have to disagree with the previous post. These cables do have depth and good response. They get the signal to the amp without coloration that I have noticed in some of the very expensive exotic type cables. I would agree that the 100 dollar MSRP is a little steep, I got mine for $20.00 and am more pleased with them with some cables costing twice as much. True, there are cables that run circles around these.. But those cables will cost you a small fortune and if you don't have premium plus gear you will never benefit from them.
Review: Monster Reference 2 Interconnect
Category: Cables
I have tried numerous cables both expensive and economical over the past two years. One of best interconnects I have tried would be the Monster Reference 2 interconnects. Initially, I was quite skeptical of Monster products. The cable itself is thick and well constructed. After plugging the interconnect between my DAC and Player I noticed an improvement in bass, soundstage and highs. I have also used this cable between my tv and receiver and things also improved. For a reasonable priced cable I would definitely buy these.
