I would agree that Monster sells primarily brand recognition. I mentioned that specific product through experience. (Formerly working for a company where we sometimes pulled composite video cameras out for lengths longer than they should have been. In a very noisy commercial food environment) Under load the cables mentioned measured 74.75 +-0.10 ohms end-to-end with a sample of 8 cables, at 20m. With amazingly excellent loss characteristics. Beautifully flexible plenum casing, built like a tank. Very low noise. I'd generally only recommend a product by name that I was particularly happy with in experience. (RG6 is RG56 or RG56u now, right? I think that's the newer designation.) I have no experience with the Monster video or audio cables. My own video systems use the cheapest possible cables. [grin] (My audio uses *very* high end. But then, I'm a snob and I pay for it...) Best of luck!!! --- Jodie Reynolds > > Go for a good quality shielded cable.
