Using 2 different brands of interconnects?
OP,Can you list what you have in your system?  Cable costs should scale with the system cost.A 100$ interconnect may or may not be good enough depends on the existing components. 
NORDOST vs CARDAS USB cables
craig,I was wondering if you could list your system equipment.  I assume in order to tell the difference in USB cables, one needs to have a fair highly resolving system. 
So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again...
Here is an concrete example why if you believe in equation, you're can be so wrong.  Let's take an example of silver vs. copper.  We all know silver sounds brighter compared to copper.  But it's not so obvious if you believe in the equation.  See ...

Everything a human can hear can be measured, no ifs, ands or buts. There is no equivocation,  no in principle, it's a simple fact. Plain and simple everything we hear is a physical phenomena transferred via the air around us. Something tell...

Everything a human is capable of hearing can be measured. Maybe the most naive statement in audio.  The objectivists are starting to show how gullible their reasonings are.

Not everything can be counted, counts. Not everything that counts, can be counted.You can’t judge a speaker by just the freq. response graph. Same for cables.Yes, if there are some obvious anomaly in the freq. response, then sure you can say it’s ...

Look at all that chest puffing, but not an argument among the four of you. That is rather telling. Hm... interesting.  Any data from you yet?By the way, equations are not data.

At least the author uses science and math. I didn’t realize how an objectivist can be fooled so easily. Just throw around some fancy equations and they will just bend over.

Even $8K he has not justified. A quick search shows $10K for 0.05% accuracy out to 1MHz. OK, some misinformation here.  You claimed your LCR meter can measure up to  "0.05%" of accuracy.  How does that equate to .004dB at 20MHz?  Seems like a s...

So yes, 0.05% is more than good enough for human hearing, or any practical manufacturing process. So basically you just pulled some number out of a hat without anything to back up.  Kind of like a magician.  So much for being an objectivist :-)...

In my day job, we wouldn’t trust any equipment. We actually have to characterize equipment to make sure they measure what they advertise.Apparently, some here just google up some equipment and think they are good enough. $10K for 0.05% accuracy ou...

A lot of the so called "objectivists" believe in some of the so called "measurement websites".  They measure some frequency responses, some basic distortions and make some wild claims that nobody cares to check.  It's funny how these "objectivists...
