optical or coaxial ? your thoughts on Monster

what are your thoughts about coaxial vs optical audio cables which one is betteris there a difference? and how monster cable rated. I have MIT's for my LRC speakers. The MiT's were give to me by a friend and I could not afford anything as expensive as the MIT's so I am considering Monster.

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:

http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?cablintr&1139863381

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,
