Are the Audioquest intercon. easier to install vs the Monster? Monster fit so tight that they are hard to install! Also, are they Copperheads a good choice? I think they are the green ones. thanks

Monster sound quality alone , Monster can't compete with Audioquest. As far as the connectors go, in general Audioquests ends are easier to work with. Monster puts the DEATH GRIP on there ends and for no reason at all.
Copperheads are a good choice if your system can benefit from them.Dan
My personal quest is to save to world of bad audio, one thread at a time. -
The death grip is so they don't come loose. Good idea for car audio, poor choice for the guy that likes to swap out components regularly. Somewhere in between Monster's grip and the cheap connectors that come standard with new equipment is where most sane cable makers land.
Monster actually did this by design years ago to slow customer complaints about intermittent audio dropouts, they just went too far.
Oh, I agree with Dan, AQ for sound quality over Monster most every time.HT Optoma HD25 LV on 80" DIY Screen, Anthem MRX 300 Receiver, Pioneer Elite BDP 51FD Polk CS350LS, Polk SDA1C, Polk FX300, Polk RT55, Dual EBS Adire Shiva 320watt tuned to 17hz, ICs-DIY Twisted Prs, Speaker-Raymond Cable
