Hey all,
I guess the Mars Music where I live (Baltimore) is pretty cool, 'cause every Saturday at 2PM they have a "Producer's Pizza" deal. Basically, local engineers and producers can come in, eat free pizza, and mingle/network/share trade secrets. It's pretty cool.
Anyway, today one of the employees had set up a cable test for the meeting. He had a loop running on some standalone DAW (forget what it was) with two Yamaha NS-somethings as monitors. The right side of the loop was recorded and connected to the monitor with Rapco cables, and the left side had Monster Studio Pro 100s. So, with just a turn of the pan knob you could switch between the two, and let me tell you, the difference was quite noticeable. The Rapco side sounded like the loop was coming out of a cheap Rat Shack speaker; a very muddy indistinct low end and a much reduced high end. The Monster side had a very defined low end and a much higher frequency range (or at least the highs were clearer and more distinct).
So, I just wanted to share my personal experience with this ongoing Monster Cable vs. Cheapo Cable debate. If any of you are in the Baltimore/Catonsville area, go check it out. They still have it set up next to the Monster Cable display. Oh, and stop by the Producer's Pizza thing, too, even if it's just for the free food.
