A Customer formerly known as An Electronics Fan posted a conflicting review saying "Light's light - buy the cheapest optical you can find". He tried the GE (Jasco) Ultra Prograde Digital Optical Cable AV22684. This cheapest optical I could find cost me wasted time and money. The Monster Digital Interlink LightSpeed 100 Cable solved the problem. It transmitted several times greater intensity light than the limp, weak, cheap GE cable.
