I have an 80 GB ps3 with an hdmi. I had trouble with the HDMI sound, so i got a digital optical sound cable because other forums said that would work. i plugged the cable into the ps3 and then into my LG HDTV. I then switched the sound settings on py

Check the settings on your tv, i use a optical cable for sound too only i send it to my theatre system, i have to change my system to dig-in for it to work, maybe your tv has a setting to use the optical input

DC GOLD AUDIO Acquires DynaStrand

24.05.13

Palmdale, CA (PRWEB) September 11, 2012

DC GOLD AUDIO has taken over the manufacturing of the high quality Dynasty Challenge Interconnects and Emperor Challenge Speaker Cables which are 100% American made. DC GOLD AUDIO's goal is to put audiophile quality cables into the homes of all music lovers who want to improve sound quality without breaking the budget.

DynaStrand was founded by Jed Hacker, the designer of the speaker cables and interconnects. With a background in broadcasting, Jed also has over fifteen years in the audio cable design industry. He was the primary designer for well-known speaker wire and cable companies before branching out on his own and forming DynaStrand. The speaker cables and interconnects he created over the years have been available to the public rave reviews. Please read some of the reviews on DynaStrands website and on Positive Feedback Online (Issue 46).

DynaStrands speaker cables and interconnects are made in a neutral off-white color, which is not only attractive, but also blends with most décor and has a high SAF (spouse approval factor). They are extremely flexible for ease of installation and are as easy on the eyes as they are on the ears - they will not visually dominate your room. DynaStrand speaker cables and interconnects are made with high purity oxygen-free copper and foam dielectric as the primary insulation for the best transmission of the signal which produces a clear, pure sound. They help bring the music to life - Instrumental color was spot on and a stone's throw from cables costing $2000 .

Monster Cables Review | DV Magazine

by Marc Noel-Johnson

Many years ago, I played in a band with a guitarist who used a 10′ length of TV aerial cable for a guitar lead. It was unusual, even for the time. Everybody was using curly leads, which were cheap and looked very cool. I had to re-solder mine every few weeks and it became less and less reliable, eventually packing up completely by breaking somewhere in the middle and therefore becoming irrepairable. At the time there wasn’t much else available so I had to buy another one, not wanting to be seen using TV aerial, despite the advantages. I have to admit that the extra top-end that this fellow got with his short, home made piece of stiff, brown lead rendered his tone superior to mine – and gave his Stratocaster the sort of spine-tingling sparkle I’ve rarely heard since.

We’ve come some way since the curly lead days or having to make your own. The manufacturers of instrument cables have followed the hi-fi and audio buffs into making leads that are gold-plated, oxygen-free and double-shielded to reduce capacitance, noise and signal-loss so that we get the best possible tone and maximum volume out of our guitars. Some manufacturers go even further. Monster – who have been in the cable business for more than 30 years – have taken cable design to another level entirely and is  now the world’s leading manufacturer of high performance cables that connect audio/video components for home, car and professional use as well as computers and computer games. However, we’re in the guitar business and in the interests of tone, are able to report on just what the fuss is about by testing out several of Monster’s guitar leads and carring out A/B tests with regular cables.
