Recommendations on USB Cables

[mwheelerk]

Do you have any particular recommendations on high quality USB cables? I am looking at Wireworld and Kimber right now but would like to be aware of other options. I think I would limit the budget to $100 to $150 for a 1.0 meter cable.

Thanks

seems extremely interesting as it has independent Signal line and Power supply line, with two USB A connectors.

Looks quite inovative, could this herald a new trend in USB cable design by physically separating the power and signal leads or just another "seems like a good idea" design? Initial listening impresions here:

Have looked (not heard yet)at the Furutech Gt2/3 cables and wondered if they are decent or not and whether extra shielding/design of USB 3.0 GT3 will lead to noticeable sonic improvement. I may certainly be incorrect but I've heard that usb 3.0 will be 10x faster than usb 2.0, although I imagine this fact will not help if the input/output devices are still usb 2.0. GT2 is priced between $100-$150 for 3ft. Anyone tried them yet?

Furutech is a great cable as is the Cardas.

I just opted for the Wireworld Starlight 5 Squared. It is just in system and I will be doing my first listening tonight.

Thx, another apparently popular one I need to check out.
