  While at Best Buy one night I saw what I couldn't beleive. In the appliance section, the actually had Monster dryer power cords! That's right those big 30a crowfoot cards that are always sold with electric dryers if you don't hardwire them in. They claimed better performance of the dryer due to "cleaner power" from their $50 cords!

  Well I happend to take note there was no UL listing in their cord. The chepa $14 Carol cord next to it did have all the proper agenct approvals. I called Best Buy and reminded them that it's illegal to install these cords in most counties and that their sale of them could hold them liable in the event of a fire or electrovution.

  About a month later the cords were gone. Perhaps for some other reason but it's nice to think I got them!

  Those squirly Monster RCA connectors go on so tight you can hardly get them off w/o causing damage to your gear or your knuckles. Their cables are over priced considering they're no better than the higher quality RadioShack or BestBuys cables.

  ... Good Guys.

  A friend recieved an e-mail back from Dave Tognotti of Monster Cables, INC. It said that, "There are two sides to this story. You should have all the facts before rushing to judgement. Feel free to call me at 415-840-2000, or toll free at 877-800-8989, and I will give you the other side of the story." My friend returned the e-mail and asked him to explain within the text of an e-mail.

  No response yet. That was over 5 hours ago ...
