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.

Any chance you’ve had an opportunity to try the Black Magic usb cable from Mad Scientist?
@t_ramey  I have not. I hear great things about his product line. 
And his connection with KLE Innovations (another terrific line of cables) is notable.

Are you looking into the Black Magic USB cable? 

Best, - David.

Since reading your review of the Stealth I’ve always had it in the back of my mind but the price is a bit steep and have yet to see a used one come up for sale. 

I currently have a Phasure Clarixa and it’s great but some day would like to venture out with other cables. The Black Magic is half the cost of the base Stealth so I wonder how close it comes to it.
