Mt10425 you are right and for give me for being lazzy, I wont be so lazzy again.Thank you for your time and your answer this AM. As always you are very knoledegable.cj
Cj-I didn't mean to infer any laziness on your part, just that there is a truckload of information available in case you want more info than what the handfull of us provide here. Happy hunting and enjoy.
I agree with some of the previous posters. Buy cables from a small manaufacturer, not a big corporate Monster than has a huge marketing budget. How much extra does Moster have to charge in order to pay for advertising and the naming rights to that stadium out in San Francisco?

If you really want to go optical, I would suggest the glass toslink sold here:

It is cheaper than most other quality toslink cables and it has received some excellent reviews/comments over the years. I bought one and it is very nice for the price.

If you choose coax, I too would suggest e-mailing Frank at SignalCable. He is a good guy selling a quality product for a reasonable price.

Enjoy,
