Nah, with a trustworthy name like Monster and with a product as sensitive as cables, it's definitely for real. Definitely.

Better not bring that three-legged stool in to work. OSHA will be all over your ... posterior.

wid: it never ceases to amaze me the number of fools that reside out there!!!!!!!!!!
Wouldn't it be nice if Monster was slapped with a $ Million fine for false and misleading advertising??
Yeah, I know that it won't happen, but I can dream. LOL!!!

Yeah Tom, the main point is that the actual power and information is carried to a speaker in an electromagnetic wave traveling along the outside(i.e. not inside)of the wire at about 3/4ths the speed of light. The small part of the wave energy that penetrates into the wire and latches on to the electrons there to guide the wave along the wire is lost as heat and doesn't directly contribute to the sound reaching the speaker, so none of this junk about the inside of the wire is significant. The movement of the electrons in the wire is very slow and if that was what actually carried the sound it would take an hour or so to reach the speaker.

So that's why those cable elevators work. Since the signal travels along the outside of the wire, unelevated speaker wire allows the dust mites that live in your carpet to snack at will on passing electrons.

You got it, Peter, except that it's the electromagnetic energy that the dust mites are especially fond of. This is one of the reasons why many audiophiles have reported a definite improvement in sound quality as a result of having their carpets professionally cleaned.
