"Monster is Monster" | 2006-11-04 |

I connected this cable to my 42 inch HD Plasma TV and ran it to a Harman Kardon AVR 240 (which was ranked #1 multi-channel reciever by a consumer magazine) and am impressed with the sound quality. Some will argue that these monster cables are overrrated and over priced, but I've always used them on high end components. If you are going to spend thousands on a home theatre setup, you might as well spend the extra couple bucks and buy the top of the line cables. If it makes even a LITTLE difference, then its worth the 15 or 20 dollars more in my opinion.
Quality company and a great warranty policy as always.
Amazon had the BEST price by far on this item as well. |

| This is for the gentelman from Houston who has been lost in the world of cables and wishes to return the Monster Cable IDL 100 Coaxial digital cable. Do not return it!! As another reviewer suggested, you run the IDL 100 from your Digital receiver (it will not work if your receiver doesn't have a digital coaxial out put) to your dvd player. You connect the end of the IDL 100 with the arrows into your digital coaxial out put in the back of your reciver and the other end of the cable into your dvd player (NOT your TV) This cable is an audio cable NOT a video. The back of your Sony TV is for video connections: component, analog or S video. Read your owners manual or visit Amazon.com, find your tv model, your dvd model and read thechnical information. You will be surprise how easy it is. |

"Terrific Sound Improvement!!" | 2002-05-28 |

| For some time, I had been reluctant to switch to coaxial digital cables. I figured I was getting good sound with the optical cable which I paid [price] for, and why should I spend another [price] for digital coaxial cable. Last week I switched to Monster Cable IDL 100 Interlink Datalink 100 coaxial digital cable and now my optical cable is collecting dust in my garage. The difference in the sound is incredible!!! This Interlink 100 cable eliminated "sound inpurities" and turned it into a much crispier, detailed sound. The bass from the subwoofer is crystal clear and powerful but without the "puffy"/distorted bass. dvd players have both connection options in the back. Some new models have only the digital coaxial option. Buy this Interlink 100 and experience the difference yourself. You will not be sorry you switched. I give this product two thumbs up!!! |

"Good connectors and cable... slight sound improvement." | 2002-04-30 |

| I used this to replace a CommScope 75 ohms coax data cable. Good looking, much better flexibility, but only a little bit sound enhancement. Stereo image a little more defined, and no better fequency extension. Perhaps with a better CD player it'll do the trick. |

"Excellent digital cable, even if it is a bit overpriced." | 2001-12-15 |

| In response to the previous negative review from "An electronics fan from Houston, Texas," this is a digital audio interconnect cable. It does not run from your DVD player to your TV. It runs from the digital coaxial audio output jack on the DVD player to a digital audio input on a Dolby Digital/DTS surround sound receiver. If you don't have a surround sound set-up, you don't need this cable. All of this is covered in your manuals and on the Monster Cable packaging. Don't be afraid to read those manuals. |

| I have used this and the optical cable. For $20 less, it sounds just as good. Monster cable is a great price point investment for anyone who wants to get the most out of their home theater system. |

"Nice FAT cable with great connectors and LOW resistance" | 2000-11-30 |

| This cable is SO wide! It is polarized (there is an arrow on the end that goes to your reciever/tv) Heres the stats from a fluke 75III:
Correct polarity: Data link: .00 OHMS resistance Ground : .00 OHMS resistance
Incorrect polarity: Data link: .03 OHMS resistance Ground : .01 OHMS resistance
I'm really impressed with the wire/insulation and soldering job they did! Not to mention the turbine coaxial connecter (click on the picture for a close up, NICE!) |

| Forget about Optical cables, with this coaxial cable you will experience the BEST sound from your DOLBY DIGITAL 5.1 system. It provides the best DIGITAL audio connection between your DVD and your dolby digital receiver. |
