Thanks for all the responses. I think I'll keep looking for a replacement ST cable instead of switching to coax. Any more suggestions or links on where to buy these cables? I'm still not having much luck finding it. Should I be looking in electronic parts catalogs instead of high end stores?
What Ever Happened to ST Optical?
Based on the hype several years ago, I opted for the AT&T "ST" optical connection between my CD transport and processor. I've generally been satisfied with it over the years, but damage to the cable (oops) is forcing me to do a replacement. Is ST optical still a viable choice, or is coax better? Seems to be far fewer suppliers of the ST thes days-- my previous was XLO and they don't list it on their website anymore.
