Which Firewall cable

The one way that occurs to me by which a benefit might result from upgrading a non-defective firewire cable that is used to connect an external drive to a computer, assuming the cable is not unusually long, is that the higher quality shielding provided by the upgraded cable may eliminate sonic issues that might be caused by radiation of RFI from the cable to other parts of the system. That kind of effect can be expected, of course, to be highly system and setup dependent.

I suspect that the triple-shielded Granite Digital firewire cable I suggested earlier would be likely to provide that particular benefit as effectively as any of the much more expensive audiophile-oriented cables.

I suspect that the triple-shielded Granite Digital FireWire cable I suggested earlier would be likely to provide that particular benefit as effectively as any of the much more expensive audiophile-oriented cables.

I should try the Granite cable then, when I bought the Audioquest a couple of years ago it was the only one I was aware of beyond various stock types.

If the Granite is cheaper and as good I'm interested. I mostly use Purist cable and love them but they do not make a FireWire.

When it comes to digital cables I do believe in a good quality construction of cables but I have not personal experienced any audio advantages to FireWire, USB, Toslink or Digital Coax unlike my experiences with analog interconnects, speaker cables and power cables. I will spend reasonable money for me ($50 to $200?) on cables but not extravagant amounts for me and my budget.
