| 5 stars. I'm now a believer. Skeptic, until I heard the difference with my own ears. I have a very nice 2-channel stereo system. PhaseTech speakers, Rotel 130W amp, B&K digital preamp, Pioneer SACD/DVD. I thought I needed a sub, but with this power strip added into my system I don't need a sub. Befor I could barly tell if my speakers were in or out of phase. Now it's obvious that I'm in phase throughout the spectrum. The imaging improved, the bass response is much lower and smoother. No boom, just so much better all the way around. Best bang for my buck yet! I have 3 rooms with gear so I bought 3 HTS PowerCenters; 1000, 1000MKII, and 2000. I noticed the huge improvement with all of them, but if I had too choose one I'd go with the MKII. I wonder if the other more expensive models could be that much better. If you doubt these things are for real, trust me - they made a fantastic improvement to my $3500 stereo system. |
Huge Difference in Sound

| I bought this when when my wife bought me a 46" Sony LCD. All of my stero components were plugged into ancient multi plug outlets etc. Let me tell you - this thing breathed new life into my stereo. Surround sound is cleaner, bass is heavier - just better in general. I'm sure it improves the picture as well - although I don't have a reference point. It's worth it just to have my stereo back. You WILL notice a difference. I was blown away |

| I bought the Monster Cable MP HTS 1000 without reading the reviews,(which I don't usually do) for the simple reason of where I bought my hdtv, Samsung HLS-5687w they were trying to sell me but for a $150, which was too much. I plugged in my equipment to the monster and at first there was no picture only sound. I have directv and they have a connection which allows you to receive digital and analog signals through the same cable. That connection needs to be placed after the monster in the connection loop. After switching around the cables I had a picture again. I can't really see an improvement in the picture quality (HD is gorgeous) I bought the monster basically for the protection. |
I don't know about video improvement, but definately audio

| I bought a new 61" 1080p TV and wanted something decent to protect it. I have a full Dolby 5.1 home theater setup. When I hooked up everything, the first thing I noticed was the diference in sound. With all the settings equal and the only change being the Monster HTS 1000 MKII, it was immediately apparent that the subwoofer was much more substantial and the surround speakers had more impact. Since I was sceptical about the whole thing, I had to attribute the improvement to the HTS 1000. I have not hooked up HD to it yet, so I can't confirm or deny the issues others are having with the video connection. Also, since the TV is new, there is no before and after comparison. But, I can say this much, even a TV this size, without an HD feed, has an brilliant picture while plugged in to the Monster HTS 1000. |
Delivers as Promised

| I just got a Panasonic Plasma ED TV and was concerned to get a excellent surge protector that might also enhance the picture quality. Before getting the Monster HTS 1000 I noticed some annoying picture glitches occasionally cropping up (I get a directv standard digital signal): a kind of vague line that, especially when background colors were pretty homogenous, you could follow moving up the screen; the kind of thing you could easily overlook but once you notice it, you can't help seeing it and it drives you crazy. Since running everything going into the tv through the Monster 1000, it's completely disappeared. So, this thing really does seem to deliver on what it promises: a cleaner picture. |
