Monster Cable M 1000 MKII / 2x0,75m
Einer der Klassiker schlechthin im Kabelbereich! 2x1,6m lang, konfektioniert mit sehr guten vergoldeten Steckern. Ausgewogener Klang, eher etwas rund klingend. Volle Dynamik! Macht sich eigentlich in jeder Kette, egal ob teuer oder günstig, sehr gut! Früher sehr teuer...
Auszug aus einem Interview der stereophile USA mit dem Hersteller:
"....
Atkinson: Three years ago, you launched M1 and M1000. This year you've introduced Sigma series cables. What is the difference in the technology between the two, and what have you tried to improve in the new Sigma cable?
Lee: We came out with the M series as our top flagship cables, in sound and in winding technology, manufacturing technology. They incorporated everything we then knew how to do and we felt they had the best sound out there. But we also priced it to be as little as we could charge and still give the consumer a good value. I think it suffered a little bit of an image problem because the cables that came out subsequent to it were a lot more expensive—a lot of audiophiles equate price with quality, which is a trap that some people get into. We still think it's a very good cable, especially the M1000 Mk.II; it's a very difficult cable to beat.
Our dealers and customers then said, "Look, we want something that is a superior cable in performance to the high-price cables." We said, "Okay, we can't compromise our standards. We need to design something that is at least as good as M1000 and M1 in every parameter, then improve it." That was a two-year effort. In addition to bandwidth-balanced, microfiber-insulated, multigauge conductors, we came up with some very complex stranding on the inside, an additional balanced impedance network. The two cables have extraordinary natural sound...."""
