[QUOTE="ronman, post: 951967, member: 14020"] Interesting I too dabbled with various USB cables a while ago. I didn't want to believe there would be a difference, but from my experience there can be. End of the day I landed up buying a few Atlas USB cables. Before listening trials, I really wanted the silver construction Kimber Kable USB but for the price tag (R9000) over the Atlas (R2000), the Atlas was better "value for money". I could not hear any difference between these 2 brands, so the extra expense wasn't justified. I remember using the Atlas for a few days, swapping those out to the standard issue cheapie cable, and SQ had degraded horridly. As I didn't want to be hearing things to justify the capital outlay, I had friends over who could also tell the difference between the Atlas and the cheapie cable. That sealed the deal. Should any of the Japanese USB cables become available, I would be keen to lay my hands on a pair too. [/QUOTE]
