All other types I can't vouch for as I would never spend that type of money for something I can get elsewhere for less money and of similar quality.

They tend to have a higher attenuation and are more susceptible to noise. At least the RG6 is... As a cable installer, I can say that monster cables are actually worse.

The only advantage of monster cables over others is for touring guitar players who don't want to worry about babying their cables.(or any other musician on the road) The high-end monster cables have a lifetime replacement guarantee. And they actually hold up pretty well The connectors are pretty sturdy and they hold a coil pretty well. The guitar player in my band has more than gotten his money's worth given how many cables he has destroyed. Otherwise copper is copper. Proper gauge and shielding for the application are the most important specs. I’m an Audio Engineer who tours over three hundred days a year.

Hadley is correct. Go with Mogami or a variety of other brands that won't rape you because of their marketing costs or whatever... or a company that doesn't sue innocent folks over such BS. I'd say "shame on you, Monster", but I never had respect for their company to begin with. lulz.
