Summary: Cable works, but pricy
Review: Although some will argue the pros and cons of expensive audio cables, it is hard to imagine how one digital video cable can be better than another. The signal either arrives at the source or it doesn't.

While I was happy with the cable, I can't see any advantage over a cheaper generic cable. Digital is digital.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Sorry ... for just an audio cable is ridiculous to me!
Review: I'm tired of what-so-called "Monster Cable". 10 years ago Monster Cable phenomenon (that time for analog signal) was a hot discussion topic in many audio magazines.

So far, everybody knows that the improvement in signal quality from Monster Cable is so little compared to its huge jump in price. This argument is much more convincing in case of digital signal. Believe me, with your human ears you can't detect the difference between Monster Cable and the generic. Also except you intentionally abuse the audio cables by twisting them or bending them sharply, the generic cables will do the job very well, even the cheapest ones. So do yourself a favor... except you're rich and don't mind spending money.

Review: Well, I've been contemplating getting these cables for a whilenow, I do a lot of recording from my PC to MD. Although I tend toagree with the other review above about how 'digital' is 'digital', I believe these cables have other qualities that makes them better. For one, they are better quality than the "digital/optical' cable that came with my MD in that they are far less 'fragile'. If an 'optical' cable bends too much, you might experience signal loss or even 'break' the cable if it is twisted to sharply.

I think these cables are worth getting even though you might not experience 'audio improvement', the fact that they stand up to 'abuse' better is enough reason for me. END

Summary: Are these better than 'normal' cables - I think so....
