Customer Review: The Real Deal
Summary: 2 Stars
Well i ordered this even after reading some of the negative reviews that stated the prongs (connection at the end) was too short. Well I had a little problem, i originally had a Fiber Optic cable that i was using for my Xbox360, but it was bent really bad near the end of the cable. So if it was moved and landed in the wrong position there would be no sound. I figured since this new cable i bought fit into the Western Digital HD TV Media Player it would fit into my receiver...not the case. It didnt even fit into the Xbox360.
The problem is not that it doesnt fit, or that the end is too short, the problem is the teeth that hold it into place are not big enough. It just doesnt hold in its position, making it pretty much worthless.
Just pay a little extra for a quality plug, Hope this review helped.
Customer Review: Clean, Clear, digital.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have ever heard or used digital audio before, you know the quality of sound that comes out of these devices. If you have a device that supports this cable (not only something like a blu-ray player but a surround sound system also) then it is a no brIner to get one of these cables. I recently had the sad loss of my old optical cable I bought 2 years ago, it was a "top of the line belkin or something that I remember was very expensive, but this cable was about 1/32 of the cost and works just as well ifnot better. That being said, if your devices support HDMI audio in, do not hesitate to use that because I have heard the difference, and although subtle, HDMI sound supports surround sound slighty better, but also it all goes through one cable thus saving you clutter and money. Do yourself a favor and get this cable!Customer Review: Item OK; Shipping excessive
Summary: 1 Stars
While the item appears to be OK, the shipping charge was excessive. I ordered four cables at the same time from the same seller and they arrived in one envelope, yet I was charged shipping for each individual cable for a total of $11.92. Combined shipping for all four together should have been at least half as much. The problem lies in Amazon shipping polices. I am not happy when people achive their profits in this round-about manner. Amazon refused my initial request to reduce the shipping charge. Only after I submitted negative feedback to the seller on this issue did Amazon grant me a $2.98 refund on the shipping. At the same time Amazon granted the refund, they asked me to pull down my feedback. I am not going to do this because I want all potential buyers to know that this problem exists on Amazon.Customer Review: Don't pay big bucks for cables
Summary: 5 Stars
These cables work great. No need to pay a lot of money for "shielded high this and high that" cables anymore. Digital signals don't have the issues old analog signals did with signal loss and distortion. Moster cables and the like are nothing but a waste of money when it comes to HDMI and optical. Shame on the box stores that carry only expensive cables. Digital signals are all "ones and zero's". They are either recieved or not. If the sound comes out of your speaker, than its the best sound your going to get no matter how thick the cable is that the signal was sent through.
About the only thing you need to worry about with todays digital cables are the terminal ends. The part that plugs into the reciever and TV. These cables are nice. They snapped into the sockets with a nice click.

I purchased the ADPTR NIC on 9/23/2010
I purchased the Toslink digital cable the same day
The cost of these 2 items were $62.05
The were billed to me and sent to Brian Fine who was to install them. The parts did not work as I have a cable card in my TV.
He sent them back in the box and label provided on the week of October 11th. A response about my complaint of not being reimbursed was an incorrect e-mail address or mailbox is full!
I have had nothing but positive happenings with Amazon! However I am waiting for my refund of $64.05!! I will not stop until I get my refund for the merchandise returned!
