Monster Studiolink...

[roadtonowhere08]

I have had a 4m pair of 1/4" to RCA Monster Studiolink interconnects from my 1212M to my reciever. I think they sound great. They have good quality plugs on them. I unscrewed both 1/4 and RCA plugs and they are shielded by a plastic cover. Idecided to leave them alone instead of going further to see if the solder was good. The cable itelf feels kinda like Mogami cable, so it is not crummy. It is hard yet flexible. I really think they are good quality off the shelf cables that are nice and long, but do not cost a fortume. They were like 40 bucks each. Now, Monster is marketing them towards studio consumers, so they should be of better quality than the stuff in Best Buy, no? The plugs seem an awful lot nicer and sturdy than the BB stuff. Any thoughts or experiences with any of this stuff? I bought it at Guitar Center. I would have went Mogami Gold, but they had no 1/4" to RCA cables, and the nice Neutrik 1/4" plugs would not fit my 1212M. Anyhoo, thoughts?

I also have a 4m pair of 1/4-inch to RCA Monster Studiolink interconnects (except from the switchbox to studio monitors) because I couldn't find any Mogami ones. I'm pleased with the build quality also, but I don't really have much to compare them to. The plugs especially seem to be nice and solid, establishing a firm connection to whatever they happen to be plugged into.
