This is a very novice question. I'm running an ordinary audio cable from my sound card to my receiver's digital input. It sounds pretty good to me but should I be using a special coaxial cable for this? If so, what's a good low cost one? I've haven't seen this discussed anywhere so I'm enquiring now.

Thanks for any enlightenment on this.

for no more than $8K. 2 boxes only, no subs please. I'm coming out of the large NHT 3.3. I want to emulate that "size" of sound with a bit of a softer side. So far, no luck. I listened to the AVS V4-SR and was impressed, but I understand they may discontinue production of that model. Anybody listen to the Dali Helicon 800's? Might there be a review forthcoming? Thanks everybody.

Having heard from the good folks at Ralston Purina&#151sorry, "good folks" seems to be a trigger for 60's TV commercial flashbacks for puppy chow or something. Lemme try again...When I heard from the good folks at the burgeoning mini&#150mega empire that Concord/Fantasy Telarc has become that a new series called <I>Stax Profiles</I> was about to begin, I anxiously tore open a Concord box that arrived in the office yesterday.

Matsushita and Toshiba call off talks about Blu-ray and HD-DVD. Let the public decide, they say. My guess? People will say, "A pox on both your houses" rather than gamble on choosing wrong. <I>Again.</I> Don't these bozos ever learn?
