Title: what optical cable to use for the jb3?
Post by: save on May 30, 2004, 09:39:01 PM

just ordered a jb3 and was wondering what cable works well w/ the jb3 and doesn't require any modding to the jb3 to get it to fit snug.  

thanks,
justin

any cable, just get the 1/8" optical adapter.  shorter the better.  if you want a really nice one www.bettercables.com makes a really nice one for about 60 bucks.  otherwise your standard monster cable or whatever will work.

i have a hosa optical cable that goes from a toslink to mini, i dunno how much it was cause costigan donated it to me awhile back, and its served its purpose just perfect so far, but if youd like rt angles, get the sound pros one!!

I bought the right angle adapter from here:  http://www.cablesamerica.com/product.asp?cat%5Fid=1206&sku=40017.

they fit perfectly and no need to modify.

I use a monster optical cable and a radio shack mini adaptor and it works fine. No mod needed.
