Audiophile quality USB Cable.. does it exist?


The only one I can find is Monster Cable, or does cable quality matter when it comes to USB?

I've used four different USB cables, just for fun, because
I already happened to own them.

Each of the four cables are less than a few years old,
and all visibly fine. One happened to be the
$29, 6' Monster, the others standard things that
shipped with a scanner and printer, and also
a tiny retractable cable with a very thin cord.

No one of the four cables made any difference at all.
I wasn't necessarliy surprised. Bits is bits.
I audtioned the same USB cable. At first I found it
pretty good ... but for the price, sleightly veiled, and with a
distinct roll-off at the bottom end.

At a full 2 inches thick, and 6' long ( only 40% more $ than the 3' length BTW )
I found it a little hard to work with though. It's also so darn heavy
that it tends to fall out of the A-end socket when listening
to anything with a heavy bass track.

Those niggling details aside however, I hasten to add ...
I was shocked at the difference in sound-stage,
clarity, and unrivaled sweetness the beast can offer, only
*after* the 1,216.25 hours of recommended burn-in.
1,217 hours-- and this snake really shines!
