More Monster Fuel... #204274 04/14/08 11:11 PM Joined: May 2003 Posts: 2,185 Menlo Park, CA oldskoolboarder OP connoisseur OP oldskoolboarder connoisseur Joined: May 2003 Posts: 2,185 Menlo Park, CA I hate to fan the flames against them, I actually use Monster flatwire because it was only about $1/foot at Fry's. But that's the only wire I use from them. I saw this and I can't even fathom how the cables look similar. IMHO, they don't. I post this because I wholeheartedly support BlueJeans. I'm a happy customer, I've referred them and also bought cables for friends. Great value, I'm even tempted to look at their Tartan line for future use. http://www.audiojunkies.com/blog/1258/monster-cable-playing-with-fire

I think Monster has handed him a HUGE public relations and promotional boon. In the mean time, monoprice just chunks along selling great products at great prices. It will be interesting to read the bit coming out on audioholics. Of course, this will all fly well above those folks buying Monster stuff from Bestbuy...

As soon as we get a response from Monster, I'm sure it'll be posted at audioholics.com And, yes - that actually is Kurt on the Monstercommunity forum. Thanks to everyone for your support on this one.

My first order of business will be to leave a flaming bag of Sean's elephant's doo at the front door of BOSE headquarters. No, make that a barrel. Then, when everybody runs out of the building, rubbing their eyes and trying not to pass out, they'll be easy prey. We'll all line up with butterfly nets that I borrowed from my hospital, and we'll capture them for sorting. The "engineers" and R&D people we'll catch-and-release. They are obviously of no use to us. The marketing department will be assimilated. We will take their amazing attributes and make them our own. Who's with me? Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.

Why'd he give me an alias? Unless Peter's just being funny, and then ... Oh crap. Sorry, Tom. Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.

A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.
