    I highly recommend MIT cables, http://www.mitcables.com/ The Shotgun series are very nice, but alot more money than the m850i's. Shop around on Audiogon and at http://ecom3.aspre.net/cgi-bin/TheCableCompany.storefront/
    for used cables as a way to get better stuff for less money. You will hear a MAJOR difference between $80.00 cables and $500.00 cables more than the difference (if any) between $20.00 cables and $80.00 ones.

    Gonzo,
    there are enough crowd in this forum that can give you reviews on signal cable cables (Russman, TroyD, TonyPTX, Gshisme, myself, and some others that I am sure will surface if you asked the question). Personally, I used Analog Two and been very satisifed with them. Let Frank know that you are part of the club Polk and he might give you a little bit of discount and/or free shipping..
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

Herein lies the main difference in comparing these two cables, cost. MC = $45(New), MIT($300). The resulting soundstage was SO much improved and enjoyable that the benefits far outweigh the cost of these cables. I would recommend them, or at least suggest that they be a demo choice at the very least. Personally, I am looking for used ones right now. Thanks for reading.

    Gonzo,
    got to at least try analog two with bullet plug, I can tell the difference on my system, I use 'em for my two channels. Can't really tell you which one is better (m850i and analog two). I did a brief shoot out between m550i and Analog two (which I am still using them both for SACD/DVD-A switcher) and the difference is the much more details and more defined bass. You can chat with Frank and let him give you his perspectives, I know he shootout his cable extensively with monster M series...
