Better Cables

Audiophiles maintain that digital coaxial cables will always sound better then optical cables as optical cables are not a perfect connection. Well I don’t know that I agree with this my first experience with this was hooking up one of the first outboard Dolby Digital processor, when we listened to it there was this strange static spark sound that we got every so often when using the coaxial connection, we tried different cables to no avail and then tried another unit with the same result (we even tried a different brand), used an optical cable and problem solved. Since then I have never had any issues with either optical or coaxial and even use coaxial on my DVD player at home (I had a left over cable from my MD player that I used for my DVD player). I do however generally recommend that most people use optical as I find most people have a hard time understanding that an old school RCA style cable does the same job as a fibre optic cable. Anyways enough of my rambling lets get on to the main attraction, we are going to have a look at the Bettercables.com Premium Toslink cable.
