Wireworld Platinum Starlight 8 USB

I've owned a Audioquest Diamond, WW Platinum series 7 & 8. I directly compared the Shunyata Omega and WW Platinum series 8 USB cables to the Infigo USB cable. In my system the Infigo USB cable is more open, detailed, and natural sounding. 

I’ve got a Starlight 8 still in the box and just wondering if anyone has compared to the Platinum?  Just curious what I might be missing because I’m a masochist. 

I’ve read an underwhelming experience from a Starlight 8 USB owner on another forum. After comparing the spec sheet, I found the Starlight 8 to be very similar to the lower range Ultraviolet which I also have. The only difference between the two cables is the higher silver clad content on copper. The Platinum uses solid silver conductor unlike all other USB cables which use copper with silver cladding. The plugs of the Platinum are also higher quality carbon fibre. The plugs on the cheaper WW USB cables are plastic if I’m not mistaken.

In summary, I haven’t made the comparison but believe the Platinum Starlight 8 is the one to get if looking to hear a worthwhile difference or improvement. In my experience, I find little to zero difference between cheap freebie cables up to Ultraviolet. Minor difference with Tellurium Q Ultra Silver. The Platinum Starlight 8 brought a worthwhile difference to the system and to me,  it's not subtle.

I concur with ryder. The Starlight is plain. The Silver Starlight uses a touch better Silver Clad over Copper. The Platinum introduces solid Silver conductors.

I have no use for an USB cable in my system. I do enjoy the Silver Starlight HDMI cable for Blu-Ray/DVD playback with my T.V.

Happy Listening!

Yes! A Cable can (and does) make a positive change in sound in One's system.
