Product Description
Serious home theatre isn't just about watching movies - it's about experiencing them. Achieving the best possible picture and sound means using the most advanced, highest definition cable. For Monster Cable, that meant making its best even better. The main criteria was performance - to create the world's highest quality, most advanced line of home theatre cable. So, Monster joined forces with THX, the leader in audio/video quality assurance programs for select movie theatres, home theatre components, and DVDs. And a new breed of ultra performance home theatre cable was born.Monster's Ultra Series is a result of hundreds of hours of critical listening, testing, re-evaluation, and engineering refinements. Only the most advanced Monster technologies, designs and materials were used. And of course, every cable had to meet the stringent certification standards set by THX. As you'll see and hear, the results are ultra impressive.Dolby Digital and DTS are ultra-high quality digital audio formats that provide incredible surround sound and superior performance. You must use a fiber optic or digital coax cable to take advantage of these exciting new technologies.Monster's Ultra Series Fiber Optic 1000 cable features special high grade index optical fiber and an internal Isotec vibration isolation jacket which greatly reduces jitter for maximum sonic clarity and optimizes digital bitstream transmissions. Bandwidth is maximized, so all the dialogue, music and sound effects are delivered with precision, clarity and accuracy.PRODUCT FEATURES:Hand polished optical fiber for more accurate signal transfer;Spring-loaded connector keeps fiber in optical alignment for maximum data transfer;Heavy-duty, color-coded molded grip for easy handling;Exceeds THX certification standards for proper system performance, reliability and ease of installation.

No complaints. June 9, 2008
Did not purchase this on Amazon, saw it on a electronics store website for $9.00 bucks plus shipping, thought what the heck.br /br /Price is back up there, and I don't really know why they were so cheap, they came brand new/sealed etc. Quality seems great, the connectors is on some type of spring, as you can move it slightly back and forth, seems pretty high tech, even if it doesn't do anything, but I don't know.br /br /The jacket material is a very firm mesh type, not sure what's it's called, but not your typical plenum or PVC. All in all construction seems really nice on this cable, connector tips look very nice.br /br /Again, I wouldn't pay full price for this, and that's not to say they might not be worth it, but I know for a fact I do NOT have the hear to honestly say I can hear a difference between this and a regular old belkin/wirelogic/phillips etc Fiber Optic Cable. But this one looks much cooler, and construction IS top notch.
 Great June 26, 2006
Bought this at Goodguys for about the same price. Whats nice is the sound is so much better and it cuts down on the wire clutter behind my entertainment cabinet. As many are probably wondering, why is it so expensive? For me it was well worth the money. Others might not hear the difference or believe all the Monster cable hype, but for me, there was definately a noticable sound improvement.
Very nice cable, excellent construction May 24, 2006
I got one of these for $16.97, on clearance at Radio Shack (from $69.99). At this price, it was worth it, but I could never pay $50 for one. Best bet is to get a used or open-box one from a place like Ebay, for much less.

I just changed to all fiber optic cable for my audio connections. Monster has really created an outstanding product. Definately worth the investment.

Some other reviews are quite funny. The "1's" and "0's" are not actually figures, they are are light waves. The better the connections, insulation and shielding, do ACTUALLY make a huge difference, when used with a high quality system. Granted if you have a $49.99 DVD player from Wal-Mart the crappy connectors that came with it will work fine. If you have a $1500 Denon 2910 DVD player, then even the idiot from earlier review would hear a HUGE difference! Weather the value is there for YOUR system is up to you, I have all Monster Cable ULTRA or Higher in my system and KNOW Monster Cable Is worth every Penny!
