Default Best buy Toslink?

This works now wrote:


Fact is: You've (hopefully) used your ears and brain and decided that all
TosLink cables sound the same. I did the same, maybe with other products,
and came up with a different result.



I found that different optical cbales sound different.
I compared a 5 quid cheapo cable between CD player and amp
with a computer grade 50/125 micron multimode fibre.
There was complete silence from the latter!

Next test: some translucent strimmer cable from B&Q. :-)

For some real cable specs, look at item XR56L
at http://www.maplin.co.uk - £1.49 per metre.
I might try it when I want a 10m length between rooms.
