You tripped over a stereotypical sort of comment.
 
If you don't *need* the cable immediately, you may be better served by ordering a few lengths of 12 awg or 10 awg cable ($0.70 or $1.00 per foot) from Blue Jeans Cable or some other reputable vendor or just finding some generic wire that will likely be no better or worse than the Monster cable and cost significantly less.
 
Regardless if what wire you choose, there are some rules of thumb/best practices such making the wire length as short as possible while as keeping the speaker wire lengths identical.
 
I found these guidelines around recommended cable length vs wire gauge for 8/4 ohm speakers. Cannot attest to accuracy, but they seem reasonable.
 
18 AWG - 8 ohm 10 feet  -  4 ohm 5 feet
16 AWG - 8 ohm 20 feet  -  4 ohm 10 feet
14 AWG - 8 ohm 35 feet  -  4 ohm 18 feet
12 AWG - 8 ohm 60 feet  -  4 ohm 30 feet
10 AWG - 8 ohm 100 feet - 4 ohm 50 feet
 
If you have a few hours to kill....here's some light reading:

I bought the same amp (amazon warehouse for $190) and it does the same thing.  I think that if you don't touch the volume or any of the controls for x amount of time, it goes into standby for power saving.  At least that's what mine seems to do.  Pretty sure it's designed that way. Not really much of a bother.

I think I may have noticed a goof that could help score Lillingtons tickets. (or very possibly screw some people on getting tickets)
 
Riotfest said tickets were going on sale at 11 am central.  The ticketing site says they are going on sale at 10am.
 
It may not be accurate, but it's worth being there at 10am.

ohh Dream Receiver, I believe you can get me through the niiiiiiiiiight

Does that make the whole "Kevin Smith/Too Fat To Fly" incident spank bank material?

you just need lots of cocaine.

Even if, for some reason, I did not mind that Gary Glitter fondles 10 year olds, I still wouldn't want to wait around for an hour and half while he does it.

yeah...I bought a second copy =)
 
It technically came with a "certificate of authenticity" but it's not very official looking.  Basically ink-jet printed document signed by Arturo Vega which is sort of cool too.

Just looking for some opinions/info on Autographed records.
 
Has anybody had an autograph authenticated by a 3rd party?  Is it worth doing?
 
I have had this signed copy of the Ramones S/T for about 10 years.  I bought it in an auction run by Arturo Vega (RIP) who was running the official Ramones website at the time.
 
No real plans to sell it, just wondering what factors go into setting value on a signed record.

I assume these are all used? 
 
assuming used and in good condition--seems like a reasonable price.  No idea what these would all cost individually in Candaland, but even in USD it would be a hefty discount over new prices (Table + Cart + Speedbox = $350 + $225 + $130).
 
PS:  Is it wrong to want a 2m Blue simply because it matches the color of my table?

It was worth the $100 to me simply to not have to deal with the annoying felt mat.

I would think that finding an orange ski mask would be the easy part given that it's Wisconsin and probably 50% of ski masks sold are orange.

My girlfriend listens to music through the speakers on her off-brand LCD TV.  You got her beat.

Replacements confirmed for all Riotfest locations.  Rad.
 
Now...just gotta work out a trade.  Fallout Boy for the Stooges.
