Monster Cable I400MKII-2M Interlink 400 MkII Advanced Bandwidth Balanced Audio Interconnect

High Definition Interconnect with Time-Correct Windings, Bandwidth-Balanced Construction, and Dual Solid-Core Conductors for Enhanced Audio Performance

High-Performance Systems Require High-Performance Cables
Today's movies and music recordings contain more information than ever before: higher resolution, extended frequency response, and wider dynamic range. They demand advanced interconnect cables that have the ability to transfer these complex signals.

Over the years, audiophiles and home theatre enthusiasts have discovered that inferior cables can degrade your system's sound and decrease your overall enjoyment of the home entertainment experience. Ordinary cable technology and even so-called "high performance" cable designs can often limit sound, restrict dynamic range, and deliver second-rate sound reproduction. Poor construction and mediocre materials are simply incapable of transferring all the signals that better components deliver.

Interlink 400 MkII's Precision Technologies Deliver Top Performance
Interlink 400 MkII (I400 MKII) features bandwidth-balanced dual solid-core center conductor design for smooth, balanced reproduction of dialog, effects, and music soundtracks. Patented time-correct windings accurately transfer both highs and lows with improved clarity and definition. And Monster's innovative PEX dielectric ensures faster, more accurate signal transfer, even over long runs.

With I400 MkII, bass notes are deep and tight. Transients are faster, revealing greater detail, whether it's a light cymbal tap on your favorite CD or the tinkling of glass in a movie. Imaging is precise, with tremendous depth and the incredible accuracy of soundstage. And I400 MkII's improved phase response delivers a smoothness and feel that's so natural you'll marvel at just how good your system sounds.

Monster's Patented Turbine RCA Connector: The World's Finest
Interlink 400 MkII's award-winning RCA connectors have a specially designed collet strain relief that withstands pulls of 100 pounds or more, so the connector stays put, even when components are moved. These premium 24k-gold contact, eight-diagonal-cut connectors provide optimum signal transfer and corrosion resistance. Monster's split-tip center pin increases contact pressure, and four O-ring non-slip rubber grips make handling and connecting easy.

Maximize Your System's Performance
One listen to Interlink 400 MkIIs and you'll hear the extraordinary improvements that properly designed cables can make. For better home theatre sound and music reproduction, get I400 MkII--the true audiophile cable.

About a week after I posted my review, I checked this page and saw that my review had indeed been posted. Now, I came back to see how other people may have responded to my review .. only to find that my review is completely gone! Ok, now I know how Monster manages to consistently get 4 1/2 - 5 stars on all of it's cables here at Amazon - they just delete the bad reviews. Or at least that's the only logical conclusion I can see here.

If you don't believe my critique of the 400mkII's - just go search out a good consumer review site ... Monster is consistently reamed by critical listeners.

Ok, my rant is over. But you owe it to yourself to try out other cables. Some of Monster's other cables sound great . . but the 400mkII's will hurt the sound of you system.

Accept no other! Monster cable has the best cables money can buy! Price might be more than other cables, but worth every penny! These cables ensure perfect sound reproduction from the source to target and keep out interference from other componets. A must buy for DVD players!

After buying a Toshiba SD2200 DVD player, I didn't want to use "el cheapo" cables. I only wanted the best. That's were Monster came in with their high-performance audio interconnects. I compared the cable to the ones the came with the player and the difference was like night and day. I could not believe my ears! If you are looking for some high-resolution audio cables for your new home theater and you don't have optical or digital connections, this is the best route to take. Sure it may not be cost-effective, but who really cares, eh? You are a audiophile.

Just go out and buy some of these right now, you won't regret it!

I'll never forget the day I gave the order to throw away every single radio shack cable in the house.

My system always sounded great and used to use RadioShack's gold cable's. I got these cause they were here on amazon where I bought my new dvd player. These cables are a lot more hefty than anything i've ever seen. I didn't compare quality to any other cables so I don't know about sound quality but it does sound good. If you're like me you probably want to spend more time infront of the tv than behind it.
