Kevin,
Not Monster Cable, but a good large conductor flexible speaker cable
just the same. As much as those cables are over-hyped, there is still a
need to carry a large current for the power levels that some of the low
frequency notes can produce - yes, the Vandersteins will go down to 20
Hz with good response and little coloration. I did listening tests
before purchasing and satisfied my ears rather than listening to sales
and advertizing hype. Before the listening tests (many years ago), I
could not conceive that a turntable base (all were good heavy solid
construction) itself could make a great difference, I thought it would
be mostly the tone arm and cartridge, but listening tests proved that to
be false.
I don't buy audio from Radio Shack here - I have a good audio/home
theater shop in the area, and have been dealing with them since they
started over 20 years ago.
73,

Don, Did you buy the requisite "monster cable" and gold connectors? If
not try it again. Your Vanderstien speakers will sound better and you
won't be wasting those precious audio watts with skinny speaker wire.
