Actually, that BS from Monster is standard cable design. Sounds just like Belden, except Belden doesn't make it sound so exotic.

"First, patented MicroFiber® is wound around
the various wire networks to provide proper isolation
and protection from contact generated noise, to
ensure the quietest background and the greatest
freedom from cable-generated noise.
Well, I should hope there's a shield.
Then a distinct
cross-linked polymer dielectric called PEX-2®
is pressure-extruded using laser-controlled precision
dies to the precise dimensions to produce the
insulation, which reduces capacitance and ensures
stability for a wide range of frequencies. Since
PEX-2 does not chemically react with copper, it
guarantees that the impeccable high frequency
performance will not degrade by corrosion at the
copper surface.
PE no doubt referring to poly-ethylene, same as the insulation in all other cables made by everybody.
Lastly, the Super MultiTwist™
construction rejects audio bandwidth distortions
for greater clarity and imaging. "
Again, virtually all audio cable is wound for noise rejection. So is CAT5.
My god what complete bullshit!
All marketing is. The only problem I have with Monster is the price. I'd recommend not reading marketing material. And get a Tivo so you can skip it on TV, too.
