What was Monster Cable thinking when they designed this thing? You would presume that a company with a high end audio back ground like Monster understood that their customers most likely would want to connect the stereo output to a separate amplifier and not to the input of a television set. (If you'd want to do that yu would not spend that kind of money on an interconnect.) However, the end of the cable is much to short to connect to any other device but the t.v. As I said, useless.
