You can laugh and ignore it if you wish, I don't mind that at all, but you will waste a lot of money on the magical audio cables which bring no benefits.

you'd be doing me a favor if you would stop posting in this thread.  I am probably more skeptical about cables than you, but as has been mentioned numerous times in this thread....Take it to the sound science forum, which is exactly what that forum was designed for.

this thread is for what USB cable you use.

So, copy the most updated list, paste it in the reply box and add your cable to the list. If your cable is already on the list, just increment the number in the bracket.

 

here is an example in a similar thread

Mr Tube Rolling OP,

There is a vote function any thread starter can use.

None of my business really, but you could re-start this thread in the Cable forum and use the vote function, i.e. list all the popular USB cables and let participats vote.

Like I said, just trying to make a suggestion.

The only other suggestion I could make is tell the trolls and thread crappers to stay away.

Perhaps I'm just a weirdo, but I listen with my ears, not with test equipment, and my ears tell me that I get better results with the WireWorld cable, which physically separates the power and signal leads, than I do with the cheap Belkin cable from Staples.  As I'm sure you're aware, USB power coming from a computer is notoriously dirty, and if it's all the same to you I'd prefer not to have those ripples playing around with the time-alignment of my digital bitstream.

Or do you also believe that all jitter is inaudible?
