to sound better that another?

Colin,

My answer is: yes I think it is possible. I once had a store and sold a
wide price range of Toslinks. I let customers buy, try, and return till
they found the one they liked best. All preferred more expensive ones. I
have never compared, but I believe that my customers were competent to judge
their preferences, so I think it's possible. I never tried compared Toslinks
myself, but I believe that no design is so perfect that quality of materials
and construction can't make a difference in performance.

If you ask questions on RAHE that are intended to help you decide what
cables to buy you will generally get what you got: statement s that there is
no diffrence and technical explanations, followed by responses to the
responses starting a divergent discussion. If you want responses from
people who will tell their personal experiences and preferences try
www.audioasylum.com.

Actually, some of the people here at rahe are doing exactly that: that
*from their personal experiences and preferences* there are no
differences. Furthermore, you may even get an explanation why there is
no difference between cables.

Of course, if you want to hear people telling you that there are
differences, then Audio Asylum is where you belong.
