I'm glad that it wasn't just me not finding the $250.00 cable. A $45.00
bass cable isn't totally unreasonable - I'll probably start with that cable
and give it a try.
I find Monster Cable is like the Jordache jeans of the 80s - a better
quality product than what's out there genrally, but by far over-priced
compared to what benefits you're ultimately getting. I've used some of
their snake cabling (StudioLink 27 Channel) when creating my home studio,
and noticed a difference in the sound quality - closest thing I can say is
that it was cleaner, more defined, a bit more well-rounded.
I'd love to hear your experience with the custom cable - I'll keep an eye
out for the thread.
