Summary: Total scam. Do not buy these cables.
Comment: Wow, I'm a little surprised here. Several months ago I wrote a detailed review comparing the 400mkII's to MIT Terminator 3's, and another pair of Monster interconnects. I basically said that the 400mkII's severaly degraded the sound quality of my system - the bass and lower midrange became boomy, bloated, and lacked detail. (Note: if you don't believe that cables can sound different, just try a couple of different pairs . . you WILL be surprised.) I was extremely disappointed with this product, and I made this known in my review.
About a week after I posted my review, I checked this page and saw that my review had indeed been posted. Now, I came back to see how other people may have responded to my review .. only to find that my review is completely gone! Ok, now I know how Monster manages to consistently get 4 1/2 - 5 stars on all of it's cables here at Amazon - they just delete the bad reviews. Or at least that's the only logical conclusion I can see here.
If you don't believe my critique of the 400mkII's - just go search out a good consumer review site ... Monster is consistently reamed by critical listeners.
Ok, my rant is over. But you owe it to yourself to try out other cables. Some of Monster's other cables sound great . . but the 400mkII's will hurt the sound of you system.

Summary: Good Cable!
Comment: I beat my set of mk400s and i must say they suffered it withstyle. After smashing 2 pair of them into my car's DIN for a year i pulled out a pair and put them to work with my home theatre. They look good as new, and sound as FINE as ever.

Summary: High-performance, high-energy cable
Comment: After buying a Toshiba SD2200 DVD player, I didn't want to use "el cheapo" cables. I only wanted the best. That's were Monster came in with their high-performance audio interconnects. I compared the cable to the ones the came with the player and the difference was like night and day. I could not believe my ears! If you are looking for some high-resolution audio cables for your new home theater and you don't have optical or digital connections, this is the best route to take. Sure it may not be cost-effective, but who really cares, eh? You are a audiophile.
Just go out and buy some of these right now, you won't regret it!
