Audiophile quality USB Cable.. does it exist?

Elhazard, I like good looking stuffs too. Too bad that that's the strongest differentiation between USB cables. I wonder why there are no SPDIF coax or optical connection for external hard drives....

"Bits is bits," eh? Well, I guess I'll just have to disagree.

My dealer recently offered me a FANTASTIC deal on an audiophile-grade USB cable manufactured from a critical blend of silver, rhodium, gold and platinum with hand-drawn teflon insulation. It was cryoed at -462 degrees Fahrenheit (that's right, two degrees **below** absolute zero) for over six months. And the best part? it was only $5,600.00 for a 3 foot length (or two 3 foot lengths for only $11,995)!

The minute I put it into my system my jaw hit the floor: the difference was NOT subtle. It was as if a veil had been lifted and layers of grunge had been peeled away--almost as if the musicians were actually present in the room!

I like to think of myself as a fairly down-to-earth, sober, sceptical type, though. So I thought I'd hook the new cable up to my computer just to see if it made any difference.

I tried the mouse first. I was struck by how much smoother and more accurate the movements were. They had an almost indescribable elegance to them that the old USB cable simply couldn't match. The fluidity was positively intoxicating.

Connecting the cable to the keyboard, I was immediately struck by how much faster I could type, and how much better the letters looked on the screen. The contrast was improved, and the definition of the serifs was greatly enhanced. But then I noticed my writing was clearer, more articulate, more concise, and had fewer spelling mistakes. I was sold.

I now plan on replacing all my USB cables with "audiophile quality" USB cables. I'm just so glad I have one of those "cost plus" contracts with the Defense Department!

Well, I'd like to use that cable on my external hard drive and get 100 times speed up. Or use it for my printer and get it to print 100 times sharper.

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!
