MikeMitchell · 26th September 2005

$50 for a monster fiber optics cable (2 meters), $22 for a hosa (5 foot). I could see a difference in cables if we were talking about quarter inch or xlr runs here, but whats the opinion on optics? Should it really make any difference?

thanks

p.s. the question is really regarding the topic, is there really a 'high end' optical cable, or they all just the same?
p.s.s. I would never buy a monster cable anyway, maybe look for something better than the hosa or m-audio
