Monster Cable Studio Pro 1000 / M1000i Cable Custom cables available

This
listing is for 1 pair (2 cables total) of Monster Cable Prolink Studio Pro 1000
Instrument Cable, 1 meter long with your choice of RCA male jacks, GLS Audio or Nakamichi, connectors at all ends. The Studio Pro 1000 is the professional version of the M1000i cable. I have
included reference specs from Monster Cable that shows the construction of both
the Pro 1000 and the M1000i. I have also included pictures of both an M1000i
and Pro 1000 cable, side by side, cut and stripped at various stages, to verify
that they are almost the same. Or, you could do like I did and just call
Monster Tech support to ask them! They told me the Pro 1000 was a better cable.
But, I went ahead and cut up some cables just to see for myself.

I can make any length cable you need with options for lifted
ground if requested. If you have special ends (Cardas, GLS, Nakamichi, Palic,
etc.) let me know. If you need XLR, TRS or 1/4”, I stock Neutrik ends. All
connections soldered with Cardas Quad Eutectic Silver Solder. The cable
measures 9.5mm dia. If you are choosing an end other than what I stock, make
sure it can accommodate such a large cable. I have no idea how to list a
service like this here, so contact me with what you need and I can set up a
private listing for you to purchase from.

I'm not a commercial business. I picked up a spool of cable and
ends from an audio shop liquidation. I'm making my own cables and selling off
the rest.

From the pictures of the cables being cut:

-The Pro 1000 advertises 97% copper shield coverage vs. 95% on the
M1000i.

-The diameter of the shield on the Pro 1000 is larger and further
away from the conductors than on the M1000i.

-There is an additional layer of dielectric insulation between the
conductors and shield on the Pro 1000 that is not present on the M1000i.

-Both have the multi-gauge, 3 Way Time Corrected Windings. If you
look at the pictures, it looks like the Pro 1000 has the same gauge strands for
the high and mid windings. This is not the case. The M1000i has stranded wires
side by side for the high windings, the Pro 1000 has the same gauge strands but
they are twisted together into several "bundles" which in turn are
then twisted around each other giving the impression the windings are thicker
gauge wire.

-Both cables are directional and have signal flow arrows on the
cables. Both have the shield soldered at the source end and lifted at the other
end.

-Both cables are the same diameter. Both seem to have the same
"flex" quality. Neither seems to be stiffer.

Which end, GLS or Nakamichi?

Both the GLS and Nakamichi
are brass w/ gold plating. Both are heavy, well built ends designed to accept
larger diameter cables. The Nakamich has a larger end which allows the use of
shrink tubing to be installed on the lifted end. It also has a hollow tube
receptacle to insert the hot lead. The tube has a hole in which you can solder
through. This gives a much better connection than just about any other end I’ve
experimented with. The Nakamichi is also a locking end. No more worries about
how tight your end fits. Insert the jack, tighten the collar until it’s locked
on. Give a few twists and it pulls off.

My choice is the Nakamichi.
I need to mention, this is not the Nakamichi of the famed Dragon and Zx series
tape decks from the 80’s. Nakamichi never manufactured RCA ends, now or in the
80’s. This manufacturer has a website and clearly use the Nakamichi name and
logo. I’m not sure if they paid for this privilege or not. A customer brought
me 8 of these ends to make cables. I liked what I saw and purchased them in
bulk.

After purchase, send me
a message with your choice, GLS or Nakamichi.
