[QUOTE="buzzard, post: 2910878, member: 3003"] OK, so I go into Best Buy to pick up a fiber optic audio cable to connect my new Sattelite receiver to my amp, and after the sales guy points out the location he also mentioned they have higher end ones available elswhere which offer better performance. I then resrponded that since it was a digital signal, there can be no difference and he sensibly dropped it. I give him credit. One time at a different store I actually had the rep argue this point with me for a while. I can understand them trying to push their sales numbers by selling higher end stuff, but you'd think they would have the sense to give up when someone can call them on their BS. On a digital signal it makes no difference as long as the pulse gets through. Either it works or doesn't. There is no issue of quality. Grrr.
