USB Cable Comparison Audience / Cardas / Purist / Stealth / Wireworld
I've been meaning to share my findings and impressions from a recent six cable comparison of USB cables.
What follows is a 'work in progress draft' that I will be finalizing and posting on a blogging site.
Getting this posted is a way of lighting a fire under myself so I get the write-up finalized. And to keep my promise to share my findings with a number of Audiogoners.
What is posted is the first phase of the 'shoot-out' involving four cables.
Please note:
- This is not finalized and I will be making edits, and adding information, etc.
- This is the first phase of the comparison.
- The second phase will be posted soon.

The Final touch audio -Callisto cables a Lampizator US distributor carriesthese incredible USB cables. I owned the curious, AQ Diamond Wireworld Platinum7 , theCallisto is in another league the wire world has verygood detail but doesnot gave the realism huge deep soundstage the Callisto does. From what I did find out the designer sourses very high purity Copper but it must also have a specific minimum of Silver-and Gold in it, then it is hammered to specific shape ,then has its own dielectric and shield from the 5 v legg which is not disclosed . All these things is what seperate this usb cable from anyone else out there retail $850 sounds like a lot but is a bargain considering it has more impact then a decent component upgrade. Audio circle Lampizator has a page, or look them up in the U.S they are in stock. Besides buying the a New Lampizator entry level Amber 3 , this cable is well beyond good ,as well as their interconnects which I donot own but saving for $1800. Read the reviews ,then take the plunge you will be glad you did !! |
Stealth USB Cable and Ethernet Cable review by Marshall Nack // Positive Feedback: https://positive-feedback.com/reviews/hardware-reviews/stealth-ethernet-and-usb-cables/ |
Hey @david_ten ... For you, I would think the newer version SR Galileo SX is the obvious, safe choice. Galileo UEF is older version. Also, I have heard some good impressions on the Shunyata Sigma line from people I respect, which is cheaper than SR Galileo SX: https://shunyata.com/products/digital-cables/usb-digital-cables/sigma-usb/ Put it in your list |
@thyname Thanks for your suggestions. I've had the previous generation Galileo UEF USB and LAN cables in system for a year plus now. Both are exceptional. At this time I'm holding off until I choose a server / streamer and possibly a DAC. I do not want to get ahead of myself with a costly cable upgrade. My component choice will drive cable requirements. |
