Recommendations on Toslink cable

About the only thing you do not want to do is buy plastic. Get glass. $80.00 is not a lot of money. However you can get a really good used cable on Audiogon for that kind of money. Check the seller's feedback; the last thing you want is a cable that has been moved around alot.

I suggest you contact www.fatwyre.com.....these people have good used products and they have a cable lending library so you can demo some brands and, yes there is a subtle differance between them.

Try the glass toslink from captnstarstripe who advertizes here and on ebay. I use one of these and it's terrific. About $30 for a one meter as I recall.

If you check the archives, I think you'll find many of us recommend the VDH Opticoupler.

I second Elgordo. I have 2 of them in my HT system. It was almost like I turned up the volume. Better clarity that the junk I was using. especially in the center channel

I suggest you avoid Toslink if at all possible. Worst possible interface. If you must PS Audio makes a high quality glass cable.

vdH optocoupler is one of, If not THE best TosLink cable available.
