Good Optical Coaxial cable under $200 ????

I am looking for a good optical coax that is reasonably priced and still performs well . I know some people say they are all the same , but i am not sure i believe that. I know i have some different Toslinks and they do NOT sound the same.

One thing to keep in mind is the length. You should use 1.5 meter and longer, or extremely short. See this review,

I have heard this cable compared to many others, some quite a bit more expensive, and it was always the best overall sound.

I used for years and liked very much the Mapleshade Clearview cables (non-Plus version) - great sound and great value.

One more idea. I went to monoprice.com and purchased one for $25. I compared it against the KImber and WireWorld optical cables and heard zero difference. None. By the way, I have heard differences (many) with speaker cables, so don't discount this idea on the idea that I'm a "cables make no difference" guy. I'm not.
