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 !!
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:

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.
