I was probably the biggest cable skeptic on AA but this picture here even makes me cringe |

By the way I switched my monster speaker cables over to some audioquest cables and did not hear any improvement but when I tried the wire world speaker cables it made a difference. Here is a thread I started and somewhere in the middle here http://audioaficionado.org/cables-ga...ot-hype-8.html I changed my tune.

Have you really been using this same wire since 1988. I had some old monster cable I probably purchased about the same time, that was in a storage bin in my workshop since about 1991, and it was completely green, when I through it out a couple of years ago. Your looks brand new.

The AWG 10 Monster cable has NO sign of green oxidation whatsoever and no crimps have ever come off, or even come loose. On the opposite side, the RCA cables connect to the amp input jacks directly through 1-1/4" holes drilled in the backing with a hole saw. They don't line up perfectly.. but close enough. The cutouts are blackened with a Sharpie marker which looks crude in the pics, but that's because they're close-up macros or flash photos. From a normal standing position the holes look dark. -Gregory
