JB3 mini optical cable? Where to purchase?
« on: April 11, 2004, 02:33:11 AM »
I recently got a JB3 and I'm looking for info on where I can pickup an optical in cable for it. I checked around and I can't find one at any of my local music/electronics stores.

1. Where can I get one of these cables that go from standard toslink to this mini toslink? Is it just an adapter that plugs on the end or does it have a different style plug on each end?

2. Where can I get/what do I need to connect from co-ax s/pdif out to this lil mini optical input?

Any suggestions, info and links would be greatly apprciated  ;D

this will start you, use a hosa converter to go from spdif(coax) to spdif(Optical.....the odl-276 will do!!!!

Also, I know that you can find the stuff for your #1 questions at Radio Shack, and most likely #2 Radio Shack also.

the Acoustics Research optical cable I bought came with 4 of the toslink > mini converters. Was supposed to have 2 in there, but I guess I got lucky at someone else's expense...

Rat Shack sells them individually too.

That's probably a pretty good deal since it has 2 adapters that sell for $6 each at RS. Plus it has the caps attached to the cable so you don't lose them.

yeah that is the only downside... but it is really flexible, it coils up fairly easily...   Beats spending $30 on a cable and $6 a piece on adaptors tho...

Think of it as $8 adaptors with a free cable  :P
