They will separate each wire strand with a teflon shield allowing no single little strand to touch each other, allow with 1/4" shielding along the outside. these extra materials and way of production add alot of money to the
price tag.
Drank the Kool Aid huh? As stated earlier, the $300 cables are no better than the $13 cables. Copper is copper and fibre is fibre. There has never been any hard evidence to Monster's claims. Also, teflon doesn't provide any shielding from RF that I know of. I guess you also use the "oxygen free" Monster Cables?

This isn't a personal dig at you, it's just that companies like Monster take advantage of the general public with unsubstantiated BS.
