Monster Cable

Sorry! I hear the word "Monster" and autiomatically i think "Bad business".. in several senses.
Again, i apologize.

No worries.
An honest and sincere response to a question.
No need to apologize... I did not take any personal offense regarding your feelings toward Monster products.

I am not familiar with the Sigma line but at the price they ask, I would advise you to look elsewhere. My reason is if you ever want to sell them, the "Monster" name will either hinder the sale or force a greater depreciation in the audio market. Looking at their website a 1.5m pair is 750.00 MSRP for the Retro's, I just think that is a lot of money for a IC, not to look at many other brands. Just my opinion on Monster, they may be great, but I had never heard of them till today. See if they will let you do a 30 day MBG in home demo.

Some of us need to lean back on the caffeine a bit.

off the topic a bit here. I tried Acoustic Research Pro II RCA. After that my Kimber Hero, LAT, Cardass and whole bunch others just go to a secondary system. Best part is that it cost my $4.99 from Ebay. New from part express is $20. !!!!Save your money.!!!!!
