about stereophile magazines recommendation of belk

hi, i read this article and figured for a low price to give it a try. i unhooked my wireworld violet usb and the belkin usb gold does a few things well [details] but so far i am not impressed[especially the ambience]. in the story they mentioned 'balanced' and i may have got the wrong cord possibly. i am using this between my mac with pure music and my m f v-dac. any ideas?, thanks john

Cable demons are alive and well, taking you hard earned money. If a cable meets the EEIE spec, there should be no performance difference. Yes, there are cables out there that do not meet spec, and they should be returned to the dealer for replacement since they are defective.

I've tried snoperch and snotrout but not snobass.

A common confusion! While "sno-perch" and "sno-trout" are fish found at ski resorts, the "snob-ass" is an unhappy class of human trying to assuage their insecurities by intoning about "the high end," "reference" and "cost no object" on audio boards.

So I'm clear, are you a "snobass" if you advocate using expensive cables to transmit a digital signal between a computer and a DAC, or are you a "snobass" if you make fun of people that do? I want to make sure I'm both calling, and being called, the correct names. ;)
