Title: Anyone use Ratshack's flip-flop optical cable?
Post by: drewloo on October 08, 2003, 06:45:23 PM

I picked up a cable from Radio Shack that has a flip-flop converter on each end to change it to either toslink or mini.  Wondering if anyone has used this cable yet & what they think of it?

thanks,
Drew

i used the interchangable mini, but never the flip-flop, rat shack cables work great

I have the flip flop in my home stereo.  It seems to work great, i use it to switch between my reciever and my MD.  no problems.

Yeah, I saw that same cable, but I went with the "gold" series optical and adapter for a few dollars more...
