sandyk Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I can relate to the damage that cats cause, but they are living , breathing, companion animals, not an inanimate $6,000 USB cable. There are far better , and much cheaper ways to markedly improve USB ,than throw $6,000 at a USB cable that probably cost 1% of the price to make anyway.

Nordkapp Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 A $6K USB cable.........and you got cats running around. I'd have that cable insured. He mentioned the damn cat eating the power cords too. No doubt they're worth tens of thousands. Link to comment

While I'd be the first to agree that people have a right to spend their money as they see fit. A $6K USB cable is just stupid!

Nordkapp Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 I've engaged this individual on several occasions. He claims to own hundreds of $K in equipment and a vast knowledge of recording engineering, having worked with big names. Every so often he'll go wwaaayyywwaaayyy off the reservation in his posts. We all think it's when he's drinking. One should never drink and type. AudioDoctor 1 Link to comment

You mean crook. There are laws against bilking people and specific laws against cheating the mentally retarded, but $28,000/meter for a power cable stretches even the credibility of the mentally gullible.

The USB 2.0 spec is completely inadequate for highest quality USB Audio . You at least need a USB cable with improved isolation between the D+ and D- pair, and the +5V and 0V ("earth") pair, as well as using a thicker wire gauge for longer length USB cables to avoid excessive DC voltage drop.
