I haven't been around for a few weeks, so I'm sorry if someone already posted this somewhere else, but this story is too good to miss for all of you Monster-haters in the crowd. Fry's had a "see the Monster difference" display set up using non-Monster composite video cable versus Monster-HDMI cable... This is a new low, even for them (and Fry's). Jason

I had never heard of Fries until I started reading this forum and AVS. The only electronics stores around here other than BB & CC was Stereo Sound which became NOW Audio Video. It got ruined when Tweener bought them out and now we have nothing. So...I am INTERNET Man now.....which plays right into Axiom's Wheelhouse.

Buyer beware. But Transparent wire actually is better...damn it. But Zimm, even you have to admit... the difference is hard to see. But I'll take some too. I just need to wait for the ink to dry on the bills. Do you prefer any particular denomination.

Mythical cable review OK, I just read this and couldn't help but post it. Not Monster cable, but it struck me as similar. Has anyone heard of this brand?
