Of course these things look decent. They feel even better. The build quality is top notch and thus I expect these to be as durable or bettter as anything else out there. It’s thicker than all my other cables which leads to the most important feature : sound quality. With digital cables cheap lines will sound the same as expensive ones over short(sh) runs, but with analogue various build quality elements do matter. Monolith cables utilize superb materials & design that results in a clear improvement in sound quality over all my other cables, several of which are higher end than typical. I wasn’t sure I would be able to detect an obvious difference but I do even simply listening to music generated from my Echo Dot to my Marshal Acton speaker. Not a bad price either. Highly recommend to audiophiles like myself.
