The point
being the original poster asked what he should use and the answer is
Coax NOT Optical because the Coax route (if you follow my advice about
using free phono leeds that come with all hi-fi seperates) IS cheaper
than any Optical cable on the market.


Thats NOT *the* answer, its *AN* answer.

Another is to use optical because it eliminates another possibility for
introducing noise into the amplification chain.

Your argument about coax being free because everyone has it is invalid
not only because NOT everyone has it, but also because some equipment
comes with free optical leads in the 1/2 meter sort of range.
