cheapest Digital coaxiel cables?

[jason hill]

When you say any high quality video cable do you mean just a typical rca
cable? (like monster)I looked at some coaxiel video cables and they have the
"f" connectors at the end and I of couse need one with rca type connectors.
Do
i just cut the ends off and replace them? Sorry i'm just a little new at
this
and confused.

Thanks

Don't start altering cables. It's not worth it. You might make a mistake,
plus you should be able to find what you want at a reasonable price and not
have to make any changes.

I've found that most 75Ohm coax cables are pricey. Find an optical cable
and buy it. They range from $5 up to $350 (maybe even more, I've just never
seen it). You've just got to find a resource for the inexpensive ones, and
it looks like someone gave it to you in one of the previous posts.

A plain old 75 ohm RCA composite video is just fine. You do not need to
spend more for the words digital on the package as is commonly the case. I
do recommend a shielded cable though.

You should have no trouble finding a 75 ohm video cable with normal RCA ends
on it at Radio Shack or someplace. Unless you're an audiophile who is super
obsessive about sound quality, this will work just fine.

Actually, since it is digital, as long as the data makes it from one end to
the other, the quality of the cable will make no difference whatsoever.

Digital data transfer has two states: Worky and !Worky. You cannot have
fubar/noisy worky like you do with analog transmission systems.

If the S/PDIF datastream makes it to the DAC at the other end of the cable
without correction errors, then you will get perfect reproduction whether
you use telephone cord or oxygen free drawn gold wire.

If the S/PDIF stream does not make it to the other end of the cable, you
will get drop-outs. (ie, no data makey, no sound makey)

He means a high quality 75-ohm VIDEO cable with RCA ends. That is basically
what a non-optical consumer digital cable is; it's just marketed
differently. The 'typical rca cable' you are speaking of are audio patch
cables. They are not designed for audio and are not intended to pass video
or digital signals (even though they do).
Brands like Monster or AR have an RCA video cable of decent quality that
could substitute for a digital coax.

If 10' is a good length for you, recotondirect.com is selling one with gold
plated connectors for $2. It even has a spring type bend relief. How long has
it been since I've seen one of those!
