Well, just never ever use a coat hanger vs a monster cable. That's heresy.

I remember when that test was done. I also remember one where they tested Monster Cable against Romex house wiring. No golden eared audiophile would accept that wire is wire so long as it can carry the signal at the proper power level. Audio rate frequencies are too low to have your cables make any real difference. Now RF signals, well that's a different story.

I was going to bring up the coat hanger vs monster test. Hilarious. I just used to buy the heavy gauge speaker wire from radio shack and call it a day.

On my old sta’s there is a bypass that is used for preamp. Not sure why tuned it in an amp that is 150-250wats per channel. Anyway those little metal things go missing and the amp don’t work. Use coat hanger to test. Works. Score. I have taken coat hanger and made the tiny things. Basically a C shape.

Can’t do that anymore, but I used to bake in the late 90’s 2000’s. I’d pick up what are now 3000-4000 amps for $50 bucks. They wanted 200, I’d be like for 200 sure you carry this 80lb thing to my car. $50 is fine.
