Why on earth are you buying the expensive cables if the cheap ones work just as well?
__
Are you just a contrarian? Show me where I said I’m buying monster cables, no where. You are the one suggesting it’s OK to spend 150 dollars on a 5 dollar product, not me.
Why on earth did you infer that it was ok that people used monster products even though there was a viable alternative at the fraction of the cost, implying that if monster could get away with it, it’s no problem to you.
Many consumers don’t know about blue jean or monoprice cables, go to best buy or circuit city, etc. and monster is your ONLY option and the idiot reps will tell you why you should buy monster and only monster.
Your initial comment was trite and ill-informed and now you are becoming increasingly ridiculous and argumentative on each successive post, re-directing and intentionally misrepresenting what I said. In short, you’re acting like a deconstructionist liberal. Enough already.
You say it’s ok to spend 150 on a piece of wire if you can get away with it.
I just wanted to let YOU and others know that you could save plenty of your hard earned money by getting cables elsewhere, sorry if this offends you and makes you want to pick a fight.
There are guitarists who pay 5000,10000,20000 dollars for a guitar when usable guitars can be purchased now for as low as $99. Matter of choice. Sounds to me like monster has produced a superior product which is more expensive to produce than the typical cable, but savvy businesses are coming up with lower cost alternatives. You appear to be new to free market concepts. I suggest 'Economics in One Lesson' by Hazlitt to get you started.
