Glass v.s. Plastic Toslink

Agreed, I've been told by many that there is no degradation for long lengths of optical cable.. I've used a 3 and 10 ft length and can tell no difference.
I use silfatec...

Hi chrisr,
Your conclusions are opposite most everything I've read. Glass optical cables came from the medical field. The company I chose, Silfatec, does mainly medical.
I have tried a few plastic, even one more expensive from Chord, and they seemed great for the money, but these glass ones bettered all of them, at my house, with my listening panel. Not the least bit edgy, or sheeny as some of the plastic ones.
Everybody's different :)

The Litepipe from Silfatec comes in two styles, the flimsy plastic coating (white) or metal cased. I was told by the rep you could run over the metal version.
Just in case you were worried about crimping.
The connectors are quite snug.
Plastic? Meh...
