There was one other thing that is related here worth mentioning. I have a friend who is an old sound engineer from the 70s and he knows so much about gear and wiring equipment up and he told me once when he was helping me wire some rack gear that NASA did a large study strictly on wire and the differences with Gold and silver and copper connections etc... by the end of NASAs study NASA determined that wire was wire and that it didn't matter about gold or silver and that the only thing that did matter was the amount of current running through the wire and the amount of resistance the wire possesed based on it's relative size and diameter vs the current flow through it's circuit. This is NASA for their space shuttles. So when Monster Cable mentions the time wrap thing for mids, and considering the very minimal current used in an instrument application line, it makes me wonder how that works or what that actually is that Monster Cable advertises. I honestly don't know but I wonder what that is.
I replaced my 5150s speaker cables with these Monster brand cables (Speaker cable). The Fender cables that came with the amp also seemed decent. I could not really hear a difference with the speaker cables. But I switched my instrumnt cables. I guess the cables I was using were 25 years old and from a late 70s time zone much like myself. So now all the noise I hear is natural amp hum which is extremly minimal and nice and quiet, instead of a large hum that makes a person wonder if his rig is grounded enough or trying to isolate ground loop hums. One cable I did have was a new cable and it made more noise that anything! It should have been illegal. I threw all of these cables in the garbage. Man, I have a 20,000 dollar guitar rig and I was using out dated old lesser constructed cables fron technologies from almost 3 decades ago. Ok...all better now. Im not so sure the life time guarantee is really needed. Sounds nice but unless you pinch it on some gear from the truck or make contact with the lawn mower I think thats pretty much a propaganda thing. One review mentioned that Monster Cable was contacted for customer service and he claimed he was dissatisified. I cannot say one way or the other as I have not needed to inquire for Monster Cable's statement of "Life time" replacement. I still need to buy some more of these instrument cables in shorter length sizes for different applications though. I noticed that their was another named brand of high reputation and a 21ft cable cost nearly $200.00. I didn't want to spend that kind of money and judging by the way the Monster cables sound I was pleased. At GC I would have paid much more for these Monster cables too actually compared to Musician's Friend. I have heard that both are one in the same but the price of ordering 4 instrument cables was much less compared to walking in locally.

Monster cables are supposed to be guaranteed for life. But, try and have them make good on it. I have three guitar cables I bought in 2005 and all three have lost continuity just outside the screw-on barrel (likely from bending over time). I called Monster to see what it takes to replace them ... after three weeks, they sent me an 800 number and told me to be prepared and have my receipts ready when I call. I bought these in 2005 at a store that is now out of business. Who in the world saves receipts for guitar cables, aspecially after 7 years. Buy Mogami, Whirlwind or DiMarzio. They're likely to last much longer ... never had a problem with any of them.
Theoretically noise free, low capacitance.
Appear to be sturdy, the wires are potted in at the connector, but that's not the weak spot. It's outside the screw-on barrel.
Grossly overpriced for what you get and the life of the cable.

Comments about Monster Cable Monster Rock 1/4" Straight Instrument Cable:
After a lot of wrangling with customer service, who couldn't find a return I'd made, they finally agreed to credit the return and simply charge me the difference (the original rep couldn't handle the call and I had to have it bumped to a supervisor). They finally found the return several weeks later.
Having said all that, the cable performed at a level I would expect given Monster's reputation and a fairly heavy price tag. Nothing beats a quality cable.

Comments about Monster Cable Monster Rock 1/4" Straight Instrument Cable:
I BOUGHT 2 OF THESE CABLES A FEW WEEKS BACK. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY. YOU WILL SPEND MORE TIME UNKINKING THESE THINGS THAN YOU WILL ACTUALLY PLAYING YOUR MUSIC. BETTER TO GET A CHEAPER CABLE THAT YOU WON'T BE TRIPPING OVER ALL NIGHT. PURCHASE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Comments about Monster Cable Monster Rock 1/4" Straight Instrument Cable:
Overall, it is very nice guitar cable.
It last long, works fine, looks good.
The only problem I had so far, is the red sticker around gold plug (with monster cable logo on it).
After 1-2 years of use, sticker from one end starting to peel off and its kinda ugly.
Just a minor thing.
