Most are so "delicate" it's pathetic.

Any help will be appreciated.

Lowes has some which have shielding that is much thicker than the ones sold at Wal-Mart, Target, etc...

If you can swing an uncollaterized loan, you can buy the Monster versions. Seriously, are you crimping/folding/pinching them? I have not had a problem with your basic Radio Shackers.

Don't know what you want to spend, but Bettercables makes well built optical cables and they are relatively cheap for there build quality($40 for one meter, $50 for two meters).

Thanks fella's for your help.

After thinking it over, I finally went to Sears and stumbled upon some of those Acoustic Research 6' HT181 optical cables, and they're just GREAT! They're made a whole lot tougher & better and on top of that, they cost LESS than the crappy cables I was using (only $15 on sale! YAY FOR ME!)

So, I couldn't be happier...well, of course I could, but Theresa says she's NOT workin' nights...WOMEN! -rolleyes-

( -ptth- )

Thanks Again!

Paul
