Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of PCD Basics Fiber Optic Audio Cable - 6ft (1.8M)
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.
Customer Review: Very Inexpensive!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased 2 of these cables for $1.39 each. I couldn't believe the price! I learned about them while searching Amazon for optical audio cables. I needed some cables for my new Toshiba HD-A2 DVD player (high definition). Like a fellow Amazonian said in his review, don't waste money buying Monster cables for $20 - $30 dollars a piece. These work perfectly fine. Besides, they're just transmitting bits folks. The only advantage that Monster cables have is that the connections on the ends may feel more sturdy. However, unless you are unplugging and plugging in your cables all of the time, there's no reason to pay for this level of reliability. I don't know about you, but I just plug my cables in once, and leave them for years. This cable is a great buy.Customer Review: Quality as Expected
Summary: 5 Stars
The product is exactly as I expected and I got it for an extremely good price. I purchased this a few months ago and is working wonderfully. I have nothing negative at all and recommend this product when at a good price. I purchased it for less than $8. I wouldn't be a good judge of Optical Cables compared to each other, but it is "light years" beyond using analog audio cables that we were using with our nice sound system. We are using it for watching TV via an antenna that receives up to 1080i. It's wonderful to now have brilliant sound quality (depending on the providing channel) for TV shows. I know this may be a norm for those cable and dish users out there, but this is stunning for me to get quality via TV antenna.
Buy it
Customer Review: Extremely shocked by such a low price
Summary: 5 Stars
To me, a cable is a cable just like an orange is an orange. Why pay more when you can get it somewhere else for less money? Well, I saw that the price of this cable is around $1. I bought it and connect it to my PS3 to my home theater system. The sound is awesome! I have no problems with this cable and I like it so much, I'm going to purchase another one.
*edit 10/27/09* So I bought another one about a year ago connecting it from my TV to my surround sound system. A year later, the sound is all choppy. But the other cable connected to my PS3 still works fine. I don't know if its the cable or the TV or the surround sound system. So I'm going to buy another fiber optic cable from a different company to see if that one works.
Customer Review: Moves light from one place to another!
Summary: 5 Stars
At first i purchased quickly without reading reviews as part of my new HTIB buy (Onkyo HT-S5200 7.1-Channel Home Entertainment Receiver/Speaker Package (with Dock for the iPodŽ) Black). After the impulse buy i saw some people were having trouble with the cable fitting correctly into components. This made me skeptical... However, cable arrived in great condition. Hooked up properly and securely (one end hangs from TV vertically WRT gravity, other plugs in horizontally WRT gravity). Sound is great! All in all a good experience! I would purchase from again without worries.
