The surges killed our cable [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.djmnet.org&amp;blog=4417278&amp;post=589&amp;subd=dmacnet&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Generally I consider Monster brand cables to be overpriced and overhyped, no better than many other brands that are a fraction of the cost (from places like MonoPrice.com). I now believe there&#8217;s at least one exception.
