the minumum order at cables america is $20... I just want the adapters.
Title: Re:Optical cable options
Post by: Lee on April 08, 2004, 10:18:19 AM: I'm about to order one of them from cablesamerica along with a few other things. If you want, I'll order you an extra one.

PM me if you're interested.

OK- I have 6 RA toslink>mini adaptors on order from cables america, and I'll put 4 up for grabs. PM me if you're interested, they're about 2.25 a piece + a stamp and envelope.

Post by: ChrisV on April 08, 2004, 10:32:39 AM: Yeah, I was too thinking of buying a couple of those adapters and then saw the $20 thing. Maybe I'll just have to buy 10 of them or something ;p

Searching around for any odds and ends I may need though.

EDIT: N/m, just saw Lee's reply and offer :)

Title: Re:Optical cable options
Post by: pfife on April 12, 2004, 01:14:57 PM: FYI - I picked up a right angle adapter at RS - it was $5.99.
Title: Re:Optical cable options
Post by: Diggin on April 15, 2004, 10:11:55 PM: I am thinking about picking up 10 of these, I will be happy to sell 8 or them if people are interested. 2.22 plus stamp and envelope
any takers?
Title: Re:Optical cable options
Post by: ChrisV on April 15, 2004, 11:15:21 PM: I'd take one off your hands....but I could also use one of the right angle regular toslink to toslink connectors too if you could add one of them to your order too that'd be awesome(if you haven't already placed it).
So one of each:
Velocity toslink to toslink right angle adapter
Velocity toslink to mini right angle adapter
Title: Re:Optical cable options
Post by: Diggin on April 15, 2004, 11:33:38 PM: that is fine, I will just get rid of one of the toslink to mini
I am ordering tomorrow

Post by: Diggin on April 21, 2004, 11:36:48 PM: connectors are in, I am sorry to whoever PMed me about it 1 since I deleted all my PMs on accident, please PM me about it.

I also have 2 toslink>mini left if anyone wants one
Title: Re:Optical cable options
Post by: ChrisV on April 23, 2004, 12:24:07 AM: My optical cables also came in from PartsExpress. I've picked up a few extras for you guys. If anyone wants one PM me. They are the Dayton Digital Optical Cables and they are quite nice for the price...and relatively short length at 1 and a half feet.

I've got 5 of the 1.5 foot ones and 1 of the 3 foot ones available. They have an excessive amount of packaging though so not sure how I'll ship them...ideally was going to do first class to save on shipping over them but they may need to be shipped Priority since the packages are so damn big.

Will post a picture of it hooked up from my UA-5 to my JB3 and also picture of the entire package too in a few minutes.

Post by: ChrisV on April 23, 2004, 04:27:17 PM: Put a post up in Yard sale with the details...pics are there :)

Post by: AT853rxwh on May 05, 2004, 11:32:46 PM: Found another place that has em, but these are Toslink to mini rt angle so no double adaptors....

Title: Re:Optical cable options
Post by: AT853rxwh on May 08, 2004, 11:50:12 AM: FYI - The radio shack ones are discontinued...
Title: Re:Re:Optical cable options
Post by: Zaphod on May 08, 2004, 07:18:53 PM: That sucks! Thanks for the FYI, maybe that's why I couldn't find one.

Radio Shack pisses me off, from Utah to San Francisco, none of them had the right angle adapters. They never have a consistent line of products.

Looks like I'll have to order through the net I suppose.
Title: Re:Optical cable options
Post by: AT853rxwh on May 08, 2004, 07:35:02 PM: Prolly better off ordering the rt angle cable from sound pro. less adaptors, less problems...
Title: Re:Re:Optical cable options
Post by: Zaphod on May 08, 2004, 07:58:10 PM: I did not know sound pro sells a right angled optical cable +T to you as soon as I can give them. Thanks.

Title: Re:Re:Optical cable options
Post by: Kindguy on May 11, 2004, 03:07:04 PM: I have that sound pro cable & it works great. Just wish it was a little shorter. It seems thin but mines been through hell & back & works like a champ.
Title: Re:Optical cable options
Post by: AT853rxwh on May 12, 2004, 05:56:44 PM: Got mine today, sp cable, and it is not really that long. plus you can coil it fairly small... Gotta put up a new pic of the mini rig...
