Like format wars, I think RCA and XLR have won the connector wars, while some other good ones have languished.
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.
