Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Monster Cable THX-Certified Fiber Optic Digital Interconnect Cable (4 Feet)
Customer Review: Excellent quality cable!
Summary: 5 Stars
I looked at several brands and finally ended up buying these since the quality is guaranteed. A bit more expensive than others but you are assured your money won't be wasted. Amazon's price was very competitive and much lower than Best Buy or Circuit City stores.
Note that Fiber Optic Digital Interconnect and Coaxial Digital Interconnect are two separate types. Many of the new cables have started to come out in "digital" and "fiber optic" versions so make sure you read your DVD Player/Receiver's manual carefully for the type of inputs/outputs before you buy the cables.
Customer Review: Monster makes good stuff
Summary: 5 Stars
Optic cable will often give good results in a good quality system. Most often, a dedicated digital coax cable will yield better results in terms of sound. However, everyone hears a little differently, and sound equipment can sound very different between models, brands, and types.
It's worth it to pick up both a coax cable, and a Optic cable and listen between the two. To me, optic cable sounds better on older source material (CD's), and the coax sounds better on newer more advanced recordings.
I'd pick up both and kick back, do some listening.
Customer Review: A Major Audio Upgrade
Summary: 5 Stars
I replaced my RCA digital jacks audio cables with the Monster Optical Fiber when I added inexpensive Logitech 5.1 surround sound speakers to my Philips HD TV (which has a great picture but lousy stereo sound). Even with only two speakers connected there was a big improvement in sound fidelity, range, clarity, depth, etc. With all 6 speakers it's excellent. I attribute part of the big sound from small speakers to this cable technology. It rivals my other Toshiba HD TV with much better Samsung 5.1 speakers using a much more expensive HDMI cable.Customer Review: Xlnt audio
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not a Monster Cable fan as I find anything that says Monster overpriced. These were, however, in the price range and I wanted cables that were THX certified connected to my new 12/09 equipment; Yamaha audio, Panasonic Blu-Ray DVD and Panasonic 58" V10 Plasma all THX certified. Cable ends are nicely polished, not the best I've seen but very good. Xlnt audio from these cables - separation, surround delay, clarity, DB range. Not much else to say. My ears know what is good and what is junk, period. These are not junk.Customer Review: HOW BIG IS THE END????
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm thinking about buying this cable, but several have mentioned that the tip/end/handle is too big to fit with other cables. I need to plug in 2 side by side. Can anybody that has this cable, measure the diameter or circumference of the end? Please clarify which dimension you're providing. Is it round or oval? If oval, what are the two diameters?
Is there really a diffence between a $5, $20 and $100 fiber optic cable? I'm seeing people in both camps.
Thanks!
