Those are it's advantages over coax, but you have to look at it's disadvantages too: limited cable length (say 5 meters), no tight radius in bending allowed, and most important: you convert from electrical to light and back. Every conversion has it's problems. Earlier in this thread I wrote that you can buy BNC connectors that are insulated from the chassis. I just tried to find insulated RCA and yep it exists: http://www.futurlec.com/Plugs-RCA.shtml look at items 4 and 5. cheers, Nick. -- DeVerm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DeVerm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18104 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52817 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
