I hear a difference with some cables. But for the sub, and Monster sucks anyway, take it back. Buy a couple of cd's or movies.

Most people would be hard-pressed to hear a difference between a Monster Cable sub cable and a less expensive, but well made, cable. I am skeptical of thise who say they do. My advice, do as Art says return it and put that money into a music or movie disc. You'll be glad you did.

75 Ohm coax cable is the way to go

Jay: Try Acoustic Research (AR) just as good as Monster and cheaper.

OMG!!!!!!! Dont listen to these bozo's Jay. The Monster is clearly superior. I'm sorry you can't hear the difference, but trust me, it is there.

I definately notice a difference between all wiring. If you can't Jay, consider yourself lucky, because they get expensive. I spent $500 on a foot of interconnect once, but it was well worth it, I must say.

Check out the "little boutique" shops as Paul refers to them. Where I live they stock http://www.wireworldaudio.com cables. I picked up 6 interconnects for $40 and coax cables for $20 a piece. While these shops can sometimes be overpriced unless you're buying a full system, at least with cables the prices are quite reasonable.
