 Optical cable July 5, 2008
Ended up being too short and required repositing of my music system. Great price and comparable sound quality to brand-name cables for a fraction of the price.
My first Fiber optic sounds! April 25, 2008
I can't say enough about how pleased I am with this product.
I have been using standard analog hookups for my HD dvd player's Dolby Digital and DTS sound until I received this item. The cable is just like the seller describes on this Amazon page...3 foot fiber optic sound cable.
And well, I plugged it into my HD DVD player and into my DTS Receiver--the set up was instant. ONE CABLE for all 7 channels and when I plugged the first end into the HD player, the other end of the cable LIT UP with a little red light so it was easy to see where to hook up the other end in the receiver. The optical sound is its own flashlight basically--and as soon as both ends were plugged in, instantly, I had to turn the sound from my original settings at 10 decibels to 3 decibels, because the optic sound was blasting out my speakers. The cable itself is 3 feet long and about 1/2 inch thick, and it comes with the optical tips covered by a sturdy plastic cup guarding the tips till you can hook them up. The cable itself is strong enough to withstand long-term use unless you have children pulling out your cables constantly. But from what I have seen, I feel it will maintain for years to come.
Seriously, it is TRULY an AUDIBLE MIRACLE from standard connections. For a mere $4 dollars(shipping included, it was the best money I ever spent! I have never heard such GREAT sound before!!!I highly recommend this! In fact, I love it so much I sat right down and wrote this review not one minute after hooking it up!!!
Fiber is Fiber March 7, 2008
I picked up two of these cables for my new Home Theater setup and as expected, I am very pleased. The sound quality through my Sony HTIB is incredible. As long as you are careful with the cable (i.e. No sharp bends) you should not have any issues. We actually use the same thickness of Optical cable in our Telecommunications equipment at my work and it is as reliable as you could imagine.
No reason for a thicker or more expensive cable. This does the job perfectly!!!
 Excellent price, excellent pefformance, debatable quality March 4, 2008
While the product works as described - one end did not fit as snug as I would have liked into the back of my CD player. It is possible that this is a issue with my CD player vs. the cable, but regardless, it is certainly worth the price! And certainly nothing a piece of tape couldn't solve. :)
Works great! February 23, 2008
Used three of these, through an optical splitter/joiner, to combine two outputs into the single input of my home theater amplifier. Works wonderfully. Perfect for the job!
