Optical or Coaxial cables for audio?

We've noticed a pretty common dilemma occuring among audio devices users. Some of them are followers of coaxial cables used to such purposes, and some of them are very much for optical ones. We would like to show you the difference today on the basis of two kinds of Connection LAB cables. 

 

Most of the enthusiasts of the coaxial cables are real audio sound tweaks. It is more difficult to find a really bad coaxial cable. Coaxial cables can run for longer time (especialy these, like connectionlab, monster or other good brands), however these are more prone to picking up interference from other RF cables or AC cables. Some say the sound from coaxial cables is warmer and more natural, closer to the vinyl sound. Also, these are more difficult to break. The users generally agree that better coaxial cables generate better sound than cheap plastic cables.

Optical cables are more expensive and more difficult to find, especially those better ones. These are also shorter - at least they should be. The best sound in case of optical cables is when they're as short as possible. ConnectionLab cables are sold in 1m and 3m lenght only and this is max you can get a good sound. You'd better not trust longer optical cables. A minus of such is the type of connector which easily disconnects, so you musn't move around much while using these. They are also less shielded from interference. Optical cables are also less durable. The connector is easier to break, as opposite to coaxial. As it may find they have a lot of minuses, some audiofils claim the sound is a lot better than from coaxial cables, this is why they are able to bear all the inconviniences.

So which one is better? Unfortunatelly the best and only answer for you is take those two and try. Listen to what your ears will find better. It's highly personal thing.
