Thanks Patch.. Exactly what I'm trying to find out.. Is it or isn't it ? I would guess it is the same, only purhaps a bit better quality ? Maybe extra shielding, or beefed wire size ? Just don't like the idea of paying a bundle for something not really needed, or warranted..
I have done some more shopping around, and found a company called CALRAD Electric.. Great looking stuff, for about half the price of the big brand names.. 20 ft componet for 34 dollars US.. And, optical/toslink at 6.75 for 1 meter.. They also offer a thicker (5mm) optical at 16.20, gold plated ends, etc.. Their web is www.calrad.com
I ran across their gear at a discount store called Orvac Electronics in Fullerton, Calif.. (714) 871-1020 if interested..
