Re: Digital Cable

I have not found the cheap glass toslinks to be better; to the contrary. My digital front-end sounds better with toslink than with coax. A few years ago I was looking into upgrading my monster "sucks" lightspeed 200 with a glass toslink. So I paid for a SonicWave and a Sound Professional. THe SonicWave was a clear degradation; the Sound Professional was not as good as coax. So since then, The Monster remains in the system! I believe that the glass toslink are potentially better than plastic fibers, but the glass filaments in these cheap products are fractured all along. I looked at my sonicwave lense with a light going through and you can see dark spots. With the monster, the lense looks like a high quality illuminated LED. I have not found something that sounds better than the lightspeed. I have not seen multi-filaments plastic optical cables yet but I imaging that could be an improvement over monofilament types.
