Their connectors are also often out of spec so they'll damage whatever
you plug them into. But I guess they do that for you as a bonus.

I've never seen "out-of-spec" Monster Cable connectors. Certainly,
Monster products have never damaged any of my equipment. Please tell us
about your experience and the damage you've incurred.

Monster seems to have this habit of using RCA plugs with this overly
thick split center pin that then deforms the inner contact of the jack
you plug it into. They also have an outer ring that is too small and
stiff and it can literally scrape the plating off of the outside of
the jack. I think I even saw some kind of "locking" RCA plug from them
where you're free to apply so much force you can destroy any RCA jack.

Has it ever occurred to you that their rugged cables which you claim
"destroy jacks" actually only destroy cheap jacks, and that they are
designed to mate with the equally rugged female jacks used on high-end
equipment?

No, since I've seem the Monster stuff damage good quality jacks from
Switchcraft.

If I need some kind of weird audiophlake "Monster-proof" jacks, then
count me out.
