I got my optical cable from Best Buy for about $10. It is a Recotron.
They had Sony cables for about $40, if I recall correctly. You can get
an analog cable a lot cheaper than that at several places.
I was just there yesterday, but I didn't look at cables. They did have
Sony 5 pack color assortment for $9.99 US. They, and CIrcuit City had
several protables. I saw the Aiwa AM F70, Sharp md mt 15, SOny r37,
R70, and I think R90. Also, a Casio one as well as some players. The
choices in decks was pretty poor though, Sony 330, and the CD/MD
combination. There were some boom box types too. So, I don't think BB
and CC have given up on minidisc, they just moved the display. It seems
to me they tend to do that at least once a year. I can remember three
different positions in the stores in as many years.

Why would anyone want a 1/2 inch thick optical cable, when a normal one
works just fine?
