Wireworld Platinum Starlight® 10 Twinax and AQ Diamond

@audphile1 I’m also looking to upgrade  my network cable and thinking about AQ Diamond, WW Starlight and Audience.  I was surprised to read that you’re no longer using the Stealth USB and went back to Audience. Curious why?  I also use the Stealth USB (without tuning collar) which is by far the best USB cable I’ve tried.  The limited reviews are also very good.  Almost like a component upgrade. I was also considering the Stealth network cable, BUT, and being as diplomatic as I can, their USB seems to be very “temperamental” at least in my system. I’ve already sent it back once for a connection problem warranty repair and now occasionally hear static through one channel until I “play” with the connection until the static dissipates. Anyhow, I don’t want to change the topic of this thread and look forward to hearing how your network cable shopping turns out.

@marco1 Stealth USB was incredible. Sonically.
However, I ran into a situation where I needed Stealth to replace the cable (it didn’t work) and ran into a brick wall called Stealth customer service. It went on for months. I never got it resolved by Stealth but I did get support from the dealer. In the end it worked out and got a refund. Unfortunately I had to return the USB cable and never got a replacement. 
I went with Audience Studio One and it’s great. Love it. Actually prefer it over their more expensive FrontRow cable. 
I was considering stealth network cable but my experience with their USB cable tells me it’s not the brightest idea. 
Audience Ethernet cable s amazing. And their customer support is top notch. A winning combo as far as I’m concerned. 

@audphile1 Very interesting.  Seems your experience with Stealth is similar to mine, both with the cable and customer service.  Fortunately I was able to get my cable repaired and returned to me.  I too was considering their network cable but now Sergei will not respond to either me, or my/his dealer.  So like you, my experience with Stealth is telling me it’s time to move on.  At this point I’m leaning towards the Audience Hidden Treasure.  I currently use their speaker cables in another one of my systems and I’m very happy with them. Normally I don’t deal with boutique companies but the Stealth USB got such good reviews I made an exception.  Hopefully it doesn’t poop out again.  At the prices they charge there is really no excuse for poor services.

Really a shame with Stealth. Best sounding USB cable I ever heard in my system but the Studio One is super close. 
I’m also happy so far with the Hidden Treasure. Very balanced and natural. This cable is a sleeper. Not many talk about it.

I enjoy reading about your Cabling posts. Keep up the good work. You cannot go wrong with Audience. It is simply incredible how much this company has advanced it's product line in 20 years.

Happy Listening!
