blessingx Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I wouldn't limit yourself to $60. I just won a $550 USB cable at CanJam. It's big and silvery, though surely not as good as their $1150 model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padam Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I suggest to ask that on the other forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahame Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Pah, what self respecting USB cable doesn't have a built in LED. How will the electrons know where to flow, if their path is not illuminated?

donunus Posted June 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 ive heard the polestar is really nice. I wonder if its worthy over the cheaper stuff. My 2 usb cables are different sounding and they are both cheap stuff which is why I got interested in getting a decent one. I was a nonbeliever of digital cable sound differences until now.

TzeYang Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 anything structurally decent with a ferrite bead is the most you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopstretch Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 anything structurally decent with a ferrite bead is the most you need. I've read somewhere that the one thing you should probably avoid are ferrites. But who knows? Personally, I recommend purple cables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TzeYang Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 They suppress EMI interference and serves as some isolation to other connected circuits surrounding it. Though not really significant, it's something that if you can get it for cheap then do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I find that NOS DACs are better paired with vintage USB cables. The older the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aardvark baguette Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 If you're running a stax setup, you actually want to construct a wire with pata wire. More closely matches the stax cable's architecture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pars Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I find that NOS DACs are better paired with vintage USB cables. The older the better. Yes. You need to ensure that these are bandwidth limited so the bits don't go too fast and pull you out of NOS... I've read somewhere that the one thing you should probably avoid are ferrites. But who knows? Personally, I recommend purple cables. Charles Hansen is probably the origin of this. He claims that they change and degrade the sound over time.
