Will it work for a subwoofer?
New User U
on Mar 31, 2022
BEST ANSWER: Most audio receiver/integrated amps use a RCA/Phono output jack for Sub Output and most powered subwoofers use the same for source input, so yes if those are the jacks you have to use.

Yes, as long at both the source and sub-woofer use RCA connections. 3' might be a little short if you want any flexibility to move the sub-woofer to achieve optimum bass reproduction

Not all subwoofer input & output options /configurations are the same so I would just hit any good search engine so you can get dialed in right or just reach out to the manufacturer.

Do these cables require a break in period? If so, how long? Thanks
A shopper
on Jan 22, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Yes, mine improved a great deal after about 100 hours of use. They were not great out of the box, but I love them now. One thing to note about these - they are thick heavy cables and will put some pressure on whatever input they are connected to - I mention this because if they are connected to a light device they may pull it right off the back of the shelf. Also be sure to let them warm up if they are delivered in cold weather - this will help with flexibility. But once they are in right they are really brilliant cables.

No. Actually from what I've read on the internet from electrical engineers, no wire needs a break in period. You can Google this and speaker wire and you'll find that speaker wire and interconnects are one of the biggest scams in the audiophile industry. I will say that I love these interconnects. They are well built and look nice. The are very snug and make a good connection.

You could probably get 100 different answers from the bigtime audiophile crowd, but my answer is No, they don't. If your ears can hear the difference adding a $1000 power cord can make to your amp or receiver, you may not agree, but for most people these will work fine right out of the bag they come in!

These have a different connection type. The ones on the right are heavy duty shielded RCA. I see these most often for connecting between stereo components like receivers and DVD players etc. the ones on the left are often specific to connecting speakers to components.

The affinity cable uses just the banana plug as a single connector with no shield. The RCA connector uses the center pin as the connector for the audio signal and the shell portion as a connection for the braided shield that protects the signal from interference.

How far apart do the female RCA plugs (on the back of the preamp) need to be to accommodate these interconnects?
A shopper
on Mar 7, 2021
BEST ANSWER: They fit just fine in the standard left/right input jacks for any source input (into a preamp or integrated amp, for example). This is true even if the male plugs are turned "on the diagnal" so that the square points of the jacket are pointing towards each other.

No. This is a pre-terminated cable. If you wanted to cut it apart and make an attempt at re-terminating it, perhaps you could. I wouldn’t recommend it. The cables are fine as-is. I use several in my system and have no clearance issues (if that’s your concern).

Yes, any RCA cable can be used as a digital coax, as the cable is just a cable, nothing more than a conduit for electron flow. In general, you want a high quality cable with a larger gauge (i.e. not the 30awg or smaller cheap cables sold in retail stores), such as these or item #2681. However, if you need a digital coax, you'd be better of utilizing item #268, as you're not going to experience a difference

What is the capacitance per foot?
ALYSE B
on Oct 8, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Capacitance is easily measured with any good Capacitance Meter (I have a dedicated Elenco capacitance meter, high quality) .
Measuring the Monolith cables (I own 7 pairs of these in varying lengths), they measure at close to 60 pf per foot. Compare this to my BJC-1 at 13 pf per foot, also compare to a Kabeldirekt cable at 18 pf per foot, and the Monolith RG-6 Sub cable at 19pf per foot.
So, relatively speaking, the capacitance is 3-4x higher than some other cables, and can be considered high.... whether or not it has a bearing on sound quality or you can hear it, well the debate goes round and round.
They are well made cables though. Realize many very high priced audiophile cables out there on the market ALSO have high capacitance, judge them by how they sound. Personally, I hear little difference between these and the more expensive BJC cables I own. Then again, the same goes for the cheaper Kabeldirekt cables - hard to really hear a big difference.

Measuring the Monolith cables (I own 7 pairs of these in varying lengths), they measure at close to 60 pf per foot. Compare this to my BJC-1 at 13 pf per foot, also compare to a Kabeldirekt cable at 18 pf per foot, and the Monolith RG-6 Sub cable at 19pf per foot.
So, relatively speaking, the capacitance is 3-4x higher than some other cables, and can be considered high.... whether or not it has a bearing on sound quality or you can hear it, well the debate goes round and round.
They are well made cables though. Realize many very high priced audiophile cables out there on the market ALSO have high capacitance, judge them by how they sound. Personally, I hear little difference between these and the more expensive BJC cables I own. Then again, the same goes for the cheaper Kabeldirekt cables - hard to really hear a big difference.

Any possibility of longer lengths in this Monolith cable....such as 15 foot perhaps?...

BEST ANSWER: I believe 12 foot is the longest they make. They are exceptionally built cables

Can these cables be used as left and right channels from my DAC to my amplifier? If so Would I have to buy two of them or does it come in pairs?

We would not sell these in pairs but with two cables you could connect to left and right audio channels for DAC if it had RCA outputs.

There is not a Monolith version of that cable but there is a cable with the connections you are looking for.

Because these cables are heavily shielded, my guess is that they would be a good choice to connect a turntable with the phono input on my pre-amp. Am I correct? Or is there a Monoprice cable that might be a better phono cable?

Flat-Sound - Good-looking - Good-construction - Smart design
I purchased these Monoprice - Monolith RCA cables for the connection of the pre-amplifier to the external-amplifier.
(these RCA cables wasn't my first choice. my first choice cable can't fit the configuration of the Rotel RB-1582 Mk 2 RCA left and right inputs - they're 8-1/2 inches apart)
These RCA cables are sold in single-lines (not left and right side by side lines) - that's a good thing.
These cables doesn't send any distorted sound. They look good; with good construction.

They are great cables with strong connector or rca connector. I had bought a more less inexpensive cable from Monoprice that sound just as good, but connection was not as good. These are great cables.

good value for the price, but not audiophile sound quality yet
The cable produce a tight mid-range and bass sound. The high treble is a little bit edge and constrained. I guess because of the treble limitation, the overall sound stage is not deep enough. For reference, I did A/B comparison to Chord Clearway RCA cable, which shows better sound clarity, opens up sound stage, and high treble has more smooth/airy extension (sweeter sound).
This is a good value cable given its price. But for high quality signal source, this cable might limit the overall performance.

Life Changing
This cable literally changed my life. For years I've only been listening to the right channel but since I got this extra cable I've been listening to both channels and I can't recommend it enough.

Ultra high-end quality at a fraction of price
The build quality is top notch. I expect these cables to last as long or longer than any RCAs Ive ever used. From the tips to the cable itself its rugged and attractive and offers the best protection available. My only complaint is that they are fairly stiff so I wasnt able to use them connecting my Monolith Liquid Spark DAC and Amp together without lifting the one on top in the rear. But the sound quality was a noticeable improvement over the Monoprice cables I was using which quite frankly surprised me because those are excellent too(thick and well protected). In fact these Monolith cables are the best sounding RCAs Ive ever experienced. Please note that with digital cables a lot of snake oil marketing exists, but with analog like these quality differences can be profound. Thick, oxygen free well protected cables make a difference. Im really surprised, especially at my age(early 50s), that Im hearing notable quality improvements with every Monolith analog cable Ive tried.
