Curious USB cable VS. Wireworld Platinum Starlight 7 USB cable

I bought a 1.5 meter Curious USB cable - am breaking it in,  and am wondering if anybody else has done listening tests to compare it to Wireworld's Platinum Starlight 7 cable.

Out of the box,  I noticed the Curious cable was somewhat bass heavy,  which I didn't like because my listening room amplifies bass too much already.  Curious says that their cable needs about 250 hours of break in time.

thanks in advance for any opinions on this.
Ted.

Good to know. I use several cables including Curious and don't have a bass issue with it. Of course however every cable sounds different in every system.

Can't speak to the Wireworld cable.   But I do have and enjoy the Curious USB, and have it sitting between a Melco N1A and a Chord Qutest.  I can attest that the Curious cable requires a considerable amount of break in.
I am very happy with the combination.  I think the other components in your system are pieces of the puzzle together with your own personal taste.

I have owned a Platinum Starlight 7 USB, nice cable. I owned a Curious Cable USB, also a nice cable. I presently use a Final Touch Audio "FTA" Callisto, an extraordinary cable.
