I agree with Ultrafitimes. After testing I really like the Ridge Street Audio USB cable.
And btw, Narod, take the time to take a listen to the cables... borrow them, whatever you have to do to get the experience for yourself... everyone has a right to their opinions and skepticism... but informed skepticism and opinion are best when expressed after testing, listening, and retesting and listening over time.
Example, my son's wife said, "Data is just data... it's a data cable... won't make any difference." She's heard the difference (blind testing, I might add) and really cannot believe the *extreme* difference even though she's had the experience directly.
In my case I was severely prejudiced toward another mfgr's USB cable because I like the performance and qualities of that mfgr's SCs, ICs, and PCs. After weeks of listening, I had to give it up.... I was compelled to accept the fact that I liked the Ridge Street USB far better than the other mfgr I was predispositioned toward.
