Optical is special, hence the inflated price.
Go co-ax, trust me, you are guaranteed to have that connection.
ThanksKnyght_byte said:oh and i dunno how much that QED Qunex subwoofer cable is, but i can say that there is no need to spend more than £20 for a 2m cable, or £35-40 for a 5m......i actually use a QED cable myself, but it wasnt a dedicated subwoofer cable, simply a QED digital coax cable and it works just fine....was worth £35 for 5m if i remember correctly, if i had the sub near the amp i could have used the 2m worth £20.......and thats on more expensive equipment....
Badger0-0 said:£25?????
Well, Ive given you my opinion and of course it's your choice
But I have to say
so to save £100 you have to buy £500 worth of cables to get 20% off which is £100 so you get £500 SRP of cables for £400? Have you got any idea what the margin in cables is? (trust me its alot more than 20%)Whappers said:Yeah, but hopefully I'll be getting 20% discount off the whole lot saving me hundreds.

But from the pics I can't tell what size it is
If it's a 42"
Either way, it makes no odds, IMO, a cheapy toslink will do the same job, regardless of what you're being told.
Digital is digital, there is no better way of sending it
yeah, true. I'll get a chance to demo the KEF iQ5's on thursday night when my friend will be working so I'll ask him for a price check of everything on the list. From what he has said to me in the past I am guessing that the prices are on average the same for the rest of the UK.hornydragon said:20% off the lot is pretty good (depends what the price is to start with tho)

Just don't get suckered into paying for an expensive toslink, is all I'm saying mate
Like I said, toslink is toslink, simple
Get a 3.5 mm to twin phono lead. Whether or not its gold plated and triple shielded or not would be up to you of course.Whappers said:Is there any way of getting audio from my laptop to the Denon?
I have been using a 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio Jack cable and cannot see any way of connecting it to the Denon. I have looked at several pictures of the receiver from the back trying to see any 3.5mm audio inputs but all I can see is outputs.
I plan to get a new PC at christmas time which will have a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty FPS Edition. So I will be able to connect an optical cable from the optical out on the 5 1/2 inch drive bay to the Denon.

Whappers said:Thanks man, I can't believe I didn't think of that
So would I only be getting sound through the front two channels?, so in effect would it be 2.0 sound that I would be getting through a 3.5mm to phono? or would I be getting stereo sound but through all the channels?
Thanks.
