Available in 10, 15, and 20 feet. I know everyone has their opinion on speaker wires but how do these stack up? They're a relatively new item. First I've seen as them at least.
Anyone have a review?

One thing that has taken me years to understand is yes better cabled do make a difference. I don't know how many times I will go over to a friends and they have a 4k 60" TV hooked up with a $1 Fry's special cable. My old boss who I got the CSi-A4 from has this $10K system all hooked up with Monoprice cables. Nothing wrong with them but for a few bucks more (that he has) he could have done much better.

Hopefully blue jeans cable is better than monoprice, just for my peace of mind. I don't have expensive gear, so cables would be the last of my worries for me as long as I have at least a 12 gauge running about 25 ft (for now).
Of course, you haven't tried the MIT cable, so your postulation is.....well, worthless.
"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

I cannot agree with that. Better quality speaker cable will make a difference regardless.

I took care of your reply for you, Sami.
On a serious note, if you want actual evidence that cables affect a digital signal...

What kind of evidence was in that thread? Do you have a direct link to the actual evidence in that thread (don't really have time or interest to try to filter from that many posts).
As for HDMI cables, if there are ANY changes to the bits between the source and TV then it is very noticeable and the cable is faulty. If the cable isn't capable of the transfer speeds required you WILL notice it but there isn't any mystical improvements in PQ with expensive cables.
In that case, then there's a lot of "faulty" cables being sold. How would you know though ? Are any scientific readings/graphs printed on the box ? Whats the standard ? Is that standard simply "good enough" or is there a higher standard available ?
Like everything in audio....even video, the little differences you see or hear in cables doesn't become as pronounced until the rest of your system evolves to a level that allows it. For instance, you may not notice the differences in hdmi cables if your watching a 720p set, but if you have a 1080p set, you may. If you have a 4k set, even more so. There's a difference between "good enough" and the "best". If some are happy with "good enough", cool, rock on, but don't poo-poo others pursuit of the "best".

Seriously? What exactly is the evidence there? Can you tell me if those graphs display analog or digital signal?

Thanks for getting this back on point. I'll be looking into connecting my RTi speaker with something other than the basic Monoprice cabling. Just trying to find a reasonably priced analog cable that has been proven to improve SQ.
Note: I'll still use the cheap Monoprice cable at first so I can "hear" the difference.
If you read it, you'd know if the signal was analog or digital.....and yes, I fully understand the conversion process. More importantly the things that can have an effect on the sound during that process. If your going to exasperate the old 1's and 0's routine, that's about as old as Keith Richards.
If you won't take the time to read up, not just here either, and experience a few things for yourself, how do you expect anyone to take your opinions with other than a grain of salt ? No offense....

Let me know how much difference you get from monoprice cables on the RTis. Currently, I have bluejeans 12 GA cables which is said to be slightly better than monoprice.
Oscilloscope always measures analog signal but lets leave it at that. On the other note I have some really high end CAT5 and CAT6 cable to sell as I suspect most of you are not getting the best internet experience possible with your cheap cable that came with the router (not to speak of WiFi).
At work we use the basic white box cat5e, I hard wired my house with good CCI made in USA cat5e. One of my coworkers said I should have saved the $30 and just went with our stuff from work. I laid out two runs of 200' in the warehouse. the made in China white box cat5 made 112MBs and bounced between 105-112MBs. The same 25GB ISO using my better CCI cable held a solid 124MBs with no bounce. both cat5e same connectors same PC's. The better made more costly cable will have the proper twist and better copper to transmit your data.
