Boycott Monster Cable - Beyond Tiki

There are certainly differing levels of quality in audio cables, but MC is overkill. That said, I think this should rank pretty low on the "consumer outrage scale". The biggest ripoff of all to consumers is the "service contract" you are asked to purchase on top of any piece of electronic equipment you buy. I almost laugh out loud when some sales monkey tries to tack a $7 "policy" onto a $20 item. Most all products are adequately covered by the sellers' return policy and/or the mfgrs' warranty. Sorry if this applies to you, but you are a sucker if you pay for this. It's a well-documented, legal scam and results in nothing but pure profit for the seller. Merry Christmas!
