USB Cable Comparison Audience / Cardas / Purist / Stealth / Wireworld

@respected_ent  The SR Galileo UEF USB cable is my current reference. It's fantastic but also very pricey.

Similar to what @yo2tup shared via his findings, the SR (within my system) plays in a different league. 

Thanks to @dlcockrum  for bringing it to my attention as well as bringing it over for a demo in my system. The upside and impact was immediately obvious.

I tried the Audioquest Diamond a couple years ago, but I don’t remember how it sounded or what I thought of it.  It didn’t leave that much of an impression on me so that might be saying something!

Havent tried the SR UEF but I’m sure it’s great!  

Just to add to my thoughts on the Nordost Heimdall 2, wireworld platinum, and audience plus.  These cables sounded very different from each other in regards to frequency response.  For these reasons,  I’d highly recommend try before you buy.  I can see the wrong cable being awful in certain systems.  Whereas with the stealth usb-t, prana, and purist 30th, you probably can’t go wrong with any but it could be a matter of taste if you compare them.  I’m pretty sure the Valhalla 2 will sound amazing in any system.  Prob on the same level with the SR Galileo!

All cables are system dependent.   In my system, Nordost Valhalla was way too "goosed".   I agree and own top Wireworld.

I would add  to yours above that is personal liking depended...
Wireworld platinum usb is indeed a amazing cable it did hit me hard from the first note, it was a tad on the bright side, on the top end on my system, and I demoed it for some time. It was on the top of my list before the Stealth USB Select came into play.

You and Archie (Bunker/Blogspot); there is something so telling about chaps as you, Archie-Bunker/Blogspot and brethren from the same waxed-ear gene pool.

For you, here is:
  ... Some facts that should give YOU pause for thought:

There are dozens of cable manufacturer's in business for decades; carrying hundreds-of-thousands of dollars in inventory, selling through year-after-decade, after decade.
Hi-Fi mag's, and millions of satisfied/thrilled listener's appreciating this (rightfully) much valued component (cabling).
Year, after year.
Millions of people.
Multi-million dollar, thriving industry.

And then, there's you -and the 'Bunk(er)' clan, extolling the virtues of dollar-store hamburgers !

Priceless.
