"Can't we all just get along??" -- Rodney King
Fellas,
I am an avid reader of this discussion list because I am a relative newbie
to MiniDiscs and I appreciate the immense wealth of information and
knowledge that all the members (including you both) contribute to this
forum.
Can you guys discuss your issues offline?? Thanks!!
Okay, on to my question...
I am looking to build an S/PDIF signal extender for my PC soundcard to
MiniDisc deck (optical signal degrades if fiber optic cables are longer than
10 meters). I need to get the Toshiba TOTX176 & TORX176 transmitter/receiver
pair but I am having a heck of a time finding a supplier that is willing to
sell maybe 2 or 3 pairs. All the dealers I have emailed have a minimum
purchasing requirement of 500+ or more units. Anyone know of any vendors
that are willing to sell in small volumes?
Bondster!!
