Nope just get some thickish lead from Jaycar and compare to the Monster you have. Might be a close thing.
If the US govt can force Coca Cola off the market until they removed cocaine from their product,
then govts can do the same to cigarette companies who add nicotine to their product.
Raising revenue is not an excuse for allowing manufacturers to use addiction to sell product.
Imagine the public outrage if supermarkets put addictive chemicals in meat or vegetables.

Never heard of Amped cables either.
I used IXOS and AR sub cables.
Just ensure whatever you buy is adequately shielded (like Nigel said).
Even a digital cable (ie: 75ohms) will do the job.

Ebay is good for cheap nondescript cables. For subs I'm pretty sure you wont hear a difference whatever you spend.
They all sound the same.

I use some cables from Dick Smith, Distinct+ branded. Got them really cheap as they were a very discontinued line (apparently). I spoke to the guy there, and he said that very little were left. This was about 16 months ago, so I doubt there are any left. But as an example, 10 meters of this cable was $30.
ASCII a stupid question, get a stupid ANSI!

I got mine from this place, works just fine. I bought a 10 m cable length, can't seem to find the same length but pretty sure it was one of the Neotech cables.
