What Have You?
To buy, or if you fancy just loaning me one to try that would be cool, too.

Why not get one Stan's cables Martin found them to be very good. Very cheap so worth a try

I think that's a standard co-ax RCA cable? yes/no? I have an old "Beresford" digi co-ax cable - I don't know if it's the same as Martin had? Anyway - I want some GLASS TOSLINKs to try! - ears that I trust say that they have a diversity of sq, just as different co-ax cables do, so I'd like to try a few in my system. And see my today's system blog update for the background to this.

Thanks John & Chris - I'm pretty sure Stan's is a plastic-based TOSLINK. I have tried it, yonks ago.

Can you point me in the right direction?
--- I suspect though that it's the same cable I have already - and that's doing duties feeding my plasma screen!

I can confirm that Stan's optical cable is the best I've used so far, including a Kimber glass optical.

For £7 delivered it has to be worth a try! Ordered.
Thanks for that.

Ditto for £26.
Ordered! Thanks again for the link.
I did look on Amazon for glass cables but my searches somehow managed to miss it!

Did yo reach any conclusions on this? Mmm - yes, although research is ongoing!
I've recently obtained a rare and sought after Mark Grant glass TOSLINK cable, I shall report back after I've tried it. -- although I haven't (yet) tried the Beresford TOSLINK cable, so comparisons are necessarily limited.
