What Ever Happened to ST Optical?

Based on the hype several years ago, I opted for the AT&T "ST" optical connection between my CD transport and processor. I've generally been satisfied with it over the years, but damage to the cable (oops) is forcing me to do a replacement. Is ST optical still a viable choice, or is coax better? Seems to be far fewer suppliers of the ST thes days-- my previous was XLO and they don't list it on their website anymore.

Bama- I too have preferred ST optical with my digital equipment. You might give Precision A/V (in CA) a call about an ST cable if you have difficulty locating a source. Theirs' has performed perfectly now for several years, and the polish job was very good. Just a suggestion.
Good luck.

Bama- I got mine from Precision A/V, Moorpark, CA. Not cheap, but I can't fault its performance.
Good luck.
