For that $150 cable, Best Buy made at least $135 of profit. Monsters are higher quality, but only maybe $5 more worth of higher quality.

I'd say monster is only good if you are a tour manager and you are having to run hundreds of feet of cable and plugging/unplugging it on a nightly basis.

Yeah, that sounds about right to me.

Just got some 17 cent HDMI cables from eforcity in the mail yesterday and they work great.

This topic just reminds me of this story:

Still, our belief is one thing -- cold hard proof is another, and it looks like a group of 12 self-professed "audiophiles" recently couldn't tell the difference between Monster 1000 speaker cables and plain old coat hangers. Yeah, coat hangers. The group was A-Bing different cables, and unbeknownst to them, the engineer running the test swapped out a set of cables for coat hangers with soldered-on speaker connections. Not a single one was then able to tell the difference between the Monster Cable and the hangers, and all agreed that the hangers sounded excellent. No wonder Monster has to rig HD displays. Still, we bet people still fall for the hype -- oh hey, if you're looking for the ultimate in sound, we've got half a meter of oxygen-free, triple-wrapped double-insulated Sonically Shielded AmpliSized Egyptian Llama cable here that we'll part ways with for just a couple grand.
