USB Cables: Audioquest's Diamond vs Wireworld Pla

Hello Coxhaus

I tried both Audioquest Diamond and Wireworld Platinum. In my system, for my ears, in my acoustic environment it was no contest - Diamond won easy.

I am late responding, but I hope you tried the Audioquest Diamond cable and would love to hear your comments. In my system the Diamond USB cable did something very special with piano keys. They sounded so much more alive than the other cables I tried. I never had a chance to listen to the Wire World Platinum so I cannot help you there. The effect that worked so well in my system had a negative effect on a friend’s solid state high end system, no tubes, in that it sounded a little brittle but I am sure his system was cabled too hot and I am working on him to get better cables for the whole system.

Yeah but in that shoot out the wire world was by far the most expensive cable. I think it would have been smart of them to include the Audioquest cable in there quite surprising they didn't. I guess all you can take from that shoot out is that more money gets you better sound

The latest issues of The Absolute Sound did a shoot out on 8 different USB cables at different price points and the winner was Wireworld Platinum Starlight ($599/meter). Check it out.

Sorry, I can see that part of my question was cut out in the title.

I am seeking comments on two US Cables:

1) Audioquest's Diamond USB Wireworld Cable Technology's
2) Platinum Starlight

Thank you

Simon
