Anyone with experience with both. I mean obviously TURBO's will probably be high quality, but isn't monoprice known for selling cheap, yet high quality cables?

Just wondering if the difference is significant enough to warrant buying a cable $70 more expensive.

Thanks!

Why no getting a BJC that is cheaper than the Turbo, and well built...Broadcast quality, as they call them....that is all I use here home till I found that sounds to my ears better for around that price...

I'm just looking for home use, so something around 6 in should be fine.

Randy is one of our old members, "brainsalad" is just his nick in headfi, he has donated cables in meetings, events, etc...as prizes, you can email him at:

brainsalad@brainsaladaudio.com

Use me as a reference if you want, I have purchased a few from him, very reasonably priced, and well done, his cables are second to none from the manufactuere point of view...

There is a diffeence between a MOT and a DIYer, he does the cables, but IMO, for the cost of materials and the fun of it, maybe he drop a couple of bucks for the time spend, but given his prices, I do not think that he could survive selling cables out there, at those prices, honestly...

On top, he has not been designated as a MOT yet, and there should be a reason for that...The only cables I have seen made by him in public events and shows, have been only donation as prizes in the raffles...
