Mad Scientist Prime USB Cable

It ought to be for that price!

I have recently gotten a loom of Mad Scientist cables and am looking forward to testing the Prime interconnects when those become available early next year. 
 

@dolfan - I’m currently considering a new USB cable to use with an Innuos reclocker. Could you share a bit more about your impressions of the Mad Scientist Prime USB cable? What were the areas of improvement in your system compared to the other cables you mentioned? 

Haven’t tried the Mad Scientist USB but just completed a comparison of several USB cables against my current AQ Diamond - Nordost Tyr 2, Audience FrontRow, Stealth. I used each cable for a period of 48-72hrs to make certain everything including my ears had settled.
It’s mind blowing the difference between USB cables. In my system Stealth came out on top. It is the easiest, most relaxed and most natural and fatigue free USB cable I heard to date. It does everything equally well including resolution, details with outstanding bass and soundstage.

I read a lot of good things about the Mad Scientist cable but decided to plsynit safe and not risk it with the Mad Scientist given its price and pain of shipping it back in the event it doesn’t gel here.

Enjoy your new cable!

@bluethinker put Stealth on your list.

@audphile1 - Thanks for your recommendation on the Stealth USB. I'd made a mental note, from an older forum post, that you impressed with the Front Row USB cable. I'll do more research on the Stealth cable. It looks like they are made in the USA, correct? 

@bluethinker yes Stealth is made in MD.
I used to own the older Aufience AU24se+ USB cable and the latest StudioOne and the sound signature of both of these cables is warm, full, natural, big but somewhat slightly loose bass with vibrant mids. The newest FrontRow USB (standard, not the Reserve version), to me, is a deviation from the Audience house sound. It is thinner sounding with greater emphasis on details. After a day with it I realized I was reaching for the remote control to lower the volume midway thru the song. Had high hopes and expectations for the Audience.
I love the FrontRow speaker cables though as they’re fabulous in my system.
When I read up more about the FrontRow line I discovered that Audience hired an ex Synergistic Research designer and he designed the FrontRow line. That kind of explains the new sound but I think it’s just a synergy issue in my system that is the reason why it didn’t work out for me. So…we can throw the confirmation bias out the window with this test.

I just bought the latest Stealth Tunable usb  and it does take roughly 10 days to runin playing 24-7/ this  type of magnetic ferrite color you slide it up or down give you more fine tuning ,need more Bass slide the color up ,I do an inch at a time 

since I bought new interconnects , and maybe speaker cables , new vacuum tubes 

patience is a virtue , myself still sometimes lacking , Stealth Latest tunable retail 

around $1950 8 bought a demo for $600  less , this is the middle model 

the top one has 2 tuning modules and internally a bit different.

Surguei  does not say much regarding his cables build quality , but makes a very good product.
