USB cable comparisons

[thyname]

A quick appreciative note to @vortecjr here for their (flying under radar) excellent USB cable (Sonore by Cardas):

It performs very well in my system. To my ears the Sonore by Cardas USB cable is much better sounding than Cardas' own dual run USB cable that I have also owned in my system

I must have tried over 25 USB cables over the years. Yes, that’s fun.

 

My top picks:

 

Synergistic Research Reference X

 

Kimber Kable Select (Ag or HB)

 

Sonore by Cardas

 

 Budget: Triode Wire Labs (dual conductor split power & data)

Honestly, if you are looking for a SOTA USB cable, and have the cash, Shunyata Sigma or Synergistic Research Galileo SX, are the best. A distant third, Audience FrontRow
