THX ULTRA 1000 FIBER OPTIC 4 FT DIGITAL INTERCONNECT
MANUFACTURER WARRANTY: LIFETIME
Product Description
THX Ultra is the A/V equivalent of the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. This label appears only on products that meet or exceed a stringent set of technical standards, established by engineers at world-renowned Lucasfilm Ltd. - notably responsible for the Star Wars films. The wire used in large quantities in home theater to connect components can be subject to frequency response and noise problems if not designed and constructed properly. Monster ULT I1000FO-8 is built to the most exacting specifications, ensuring the broadest bandwidth and most uncolored signal that's technically possible. To quote George Lucas: "The combination of THX and 5.1 digital sound is the absolute assurance that consumers can now experience the finest sound reproduction from their Home Theater." Best of the best - it doesn't get any better than this!

Great.......2006-06-26
Bought this at Goodguys for about the same price. Whats nice is the sound is so much better and it cuts down on the wire clutter behind my entertainment cabinet. As many are probably wondering, why is it so expensive? For me it was well worth the money. Others might not hear the difference or believe all the Monster cable hype, but for me, there was definately a noticable sound improvement.
Very nice cable, excellent construction.......2006-05-24
I got one of these for $16.97, on clearance at Radio Shack (from $69.99). At this price, it was worth it, but I could never pay $50 for one. Best bet is to get a used or open-box one from a place like Ebay, for much less.

I just changed to all fiber optic cable for my audio connections. Monster has really created an outstanding product. Definately worth the investment.
Some People Should LIsten To The Music..........2006-01-22
Some other reviews are quite funny. The "1's" and "0's" are not actually figures, they are are light waves. The better the connections, insulation and shielding, do ACTUALLY make a huge difference, when used with a high quality system. Granted if you have a $49.99 DVD player from Wal-Mart the crappy connectors that came with it will work fine. If you have a $1500 Denon 2910 DVD player, then even the idiot from earlier review would hear a HUGE difference! Weather the value is there for YOUR system is up to you, I have all Monster Cable ULTRA or Higher in my system and KNOW Monster Cable Is worth every Penny!
Monster Cable Ultra 1000 Fiber Optic .......2006-01-02
What exactly is a fiber optic cable? It transports sound using a digital signal. In fiber optics, light is used to transport this digital data. The digital signal is made up of 1 and 0. 1 being light, 0 being no light.
I recommend using the Monster Standard Cables and always will. But there Ultra line is a little overpriced.
So how should I decide between buying a "high end" fiber optic cable and an ok one. Well, the fact that it is triple the cost of this cable kind of gets me. I purchased a top of the line, Monster Cable THX Ultra 1000, that was really expensive. The Ultra 1000 is more durable, and uses higher quality materials that transport the light more efficently. Yea it did sound slightly better. But if you plan on using it for a CD player or a cheaper surround sound system, you won't need the really expensive stuff. The cheapre monster line does perfectly well. But even for me, I ended up returing the Ultra 1000. Why you ask? The quality didn't meet the price. Its not worth it unless you plan on building a top of the line home theater that you plan to use every day. For most people, the cheaper monster cables will be more than enough of an improvement that they'll notice the difference and be happy enough.
Overall, I gave this Monster Standard cable a 2 because it is overpriced for the quality. If you plan on spending this much, I recommend that you just purchase a professional cable.
Notes for new users of these cables:
- Make sure your DVD player or Cable/Satallite reciever has the fiber optic output, as a lot of the cheaper ones don't.
- Pull off the plastic protective coverings on each end of the fiber optic cables. These are there to protect the cable during transit/storage.
- Be careful not to bend the cables around too much or strtch them to meet the distance you want them to reach. Buy a longer one if you need to.
- If the black coating on the cable gets striped a bit, consider buying a new cable, as the damage allows light to seep out, thus, distoring the quiality.
