Which Firewall cable


So, I'm hearing that the Firewall cable is important. What do people recommend?
Please share your experiences. Last thing I want to do is spend more than necessary. Thanks.

I use one of the Ultra Fi Firewire cables - their Basque. Really nice improvement.

People need to speak from experience rather than speculation in order to be helpful to the original poster. That happens way too much in this hobby.

I had the same experience but with Audioquest.

I ran the Audioquest Diamond FireWire between Oyen Digital housing (twin 4 TB Hitachi Deskstar drives) to Mac Mini. In my system the Audioquest was worth the price, perhaps not in another situation.

I suspect that the triple-shielded Granite Digital FireWire cable I suggested earlier would be likely to provide that particular benefit as effectively as any of the much more expensive audiophile-oriented cables.

I should try the Granite cable then, when I bought the Audioquest a couple of years ago it was the only one I was aware of beyond various stock types.

If the Granite is cheaper and as good I'm interested. I mostly use Purist cable and love them but they do not make a FireWire.
