Editorial Review:
Product DescriptionTHX 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-4 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!

Did not purchase this on Amazon, saw it on a electronics store website for $9.00 bucks plus shipping, thought what the heck.
Price is back up there, and I don't really know why they were so cheap, they came brand new/sealed etc. Quality seems great, the connectors is on some type of spring, as you can move it slightly back and forth, seems pretty high tech, even if it doesn't do anything, but I don't know.
The jacket material is a very firm mesh type, not sure what's it's ... Read More

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.
Rating: - Very nice cable, excellent construction
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 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 ... Read More
