There are BETTER and more "modern" cables today but these Monsters stay a very option good IF you or your system need "warmer" cables.
I think you nailed it right there David_d. I just inserted a 2 meter pair of M1000i between preamp and amp in place of a pair of Tara Labs The One because after playing around with several cables and cords, my system was now bordering on the edge of too much detail, a tad lean sounding. The M1000i's definitely brought some much needed warmth and fullness back to the sound. No, these cables are not the answer for those chasing the utmost in resolution and detail, but if you are just looking for an inexpensive, warm, musical cable, these M1000i's are hard to beat for the $$$
