I had not been satisfied with the sound quality from my surround sound system, until I decided to purchase this optical cable. The quality of construction and audio it delivers totally rejuvenates my 9 year old system. I suppose any optical cable would do, but I trust the Monster brand. I have purchased Monster products in the past, whenever I could afford it, so I had expectations of high performance and longevity and it delivered. I installed the cable and played a DVD through my system and for the first time it was like being in the theater. An additional plus was the combined low price and quick delivery of the cable. Thanks to Monster and Amazon I'm thoroughly enjoying my home theater experiences again. Monster THXI100-FO4NF THX Certified Toslink Fiber Optic Audio Cable (4 feet)
I don't like to spend more than necessary for quality cables, but the less expensive (and better selling) models on Amazon were prone to slipping out of my Yamaha receiver. The monster cable provides a nice, snug fit.
Whether you're running a complete THX system or not, why chance the use of inferior products? To make certain you are getting all of the audio you can muster from your surround sound you should use this cable. Optic cable has very little loss, I know, I utilize fiber optics for a career. Sure Monster cables typically cost more than most (if not all), but I've always been a firm believer in getting what you pay for. Sure, I can't afford high end vehicles. However, I can afford this cable and you can't afford not to buy one too.
For some reason, this optical cable cannot plug into my Samsung TV snugly, however it plugs in properly into my receiver. I tried to push it in and I made sure it's turn the correct way , but it will not stay in. Before I bought it, I read all the reviews which were good and someone complained about the same problem. I went out and bought a cheap optical cable from Kmart and it did not have that problem. What gives??
Update: I had to try this cable again, I wasn't satisfied with the sound from the replacement I bought. I am glad I did. This time it took some more pushing and wiggling to get it into my tv. The sound that the Monster THX sends to my receiver is a much better quality than the replacement cable I got - the sound is crisper and rounder. I've upgraded my overall review to 4 star - (-1 star because of the fat end of the cable that prevents it from being plugged in easily into certain systems like mine) The sound quality gets 5 star. I would give it ten if possible. - Optical Cable - Digital Audio - Audio Cables - Cable'
