Fair enough [Posted on 2004-02-29]
Alot of people say that Monster Cable is overrated. True, they are expensive. I use Monster Cable accessories because I know what kind of improvements to expect from them. Often times, the people here who have issues with Monster Cable, or any sort of a/v cable for that matter, often times do not have high performance a/v equipment. While I'm far from one of those theaterphiles who get paid to test new equipment in specific soundrooms, I do know enough to be able to distinguish what I (emphasis on I) sounds/looks better for my specific needs. Bottom line, Monster cables are a step up from the cables you'll receive with your equipment and will be more distinguishable if you have the right components. I use these digital cables because I have surround sound speakers and a Samsung receiver. If you're someone who does not have or plan on using surround sound, then you probably don't want to shell out money for this digital cable.
Optical is optical [Posted on 2005-05-24]
Yeah, I don't get this obsession with Monster brand cable either. When I got my 5.1 set-up, I thought the only way to get 5.1 sound was to use an optical wire anyway. Well, on my system it was, as it had no RCA jacks for all those discrete channels. All it has is one optical jack and one set of L/R RCA jacks for a stereo VCR source.
So all I did was go to Wal Mart or Radio Shack (can't remember which) and bought the only optical cable they had for like 20 bucks. Works just fine. My problem if anything is my receiver. But I think I'll be upgrading sometime later this year.
High Performance at last [Posted on 2007-07-02]
I guess An Electronics Fan never tried the GE (Jasco) Ultra Prograde Digital Optical Cable AV22684. This cheapest optical I could find cost me wasted time and money. The Monster Digital Interlink LightSpeed 100 Cable solved the problem. The Monster Cable transmitted several times greater intensity light than the limp, weak, cheap GE cable.
The picture is wrong. [Posted on 2007-09-06]
Be careful, ladies and gentlemen, this is not...I repeat NOT a toslink to mini-toslink cable, as the picture would lead you to believe. The ILS1002M cable is regular toslink on both ends. The description is correct, however, the picture is wrong.
Great Cable! [Posted on 2008-04-25]
This cable is worth every penny. The connector is beautiful. The "M" in Monster is wonderfully printed and the finger grips feel like work of art. Other than the connector, I don't have much to say about this cable compared to other Toslink cables. The innards are really all the same. I can say that there is a marked improvement over the extended coathanger I had been using previously to connect my receiver to my audio equipment.
