Thanks Rob, I tried the code and it works, but you cannot combine it with the 10% off email code. It’s the either or situation.
I still think Lifatec might have slight advantage over DH Labs with the 170 more strands. Besides, Lifatec glass fiber is made in Germany. It seems no-one has ever compared the two.
Regarding the cheap cable from Amazon, I actually bought that one with 280 strands first. Two of the strands were dead on arrival. I used a 10x watchmaker’s lupe to inspect it, and it didn’t shine on uniformly when connected to Optical Port. Half of the cable was dimmed. It’s good for it’s price, but definitely not in the same class as +$150 cables. The polishing on the end tips are very important in optical cables, and the Amazon Glass Toslink is not well polished.
Cheers!
