@rsf507 Thanks! looking forward to it’s arrival!
@jrareform Compare how many cables?
@drlou77 Thanks! I have made several audio purchases based upon recommendations from @audphile1 Interesting, he just had a post asking about the HumminGuru record cleaner. First time I actually could give him advice. Made my day!
USB cable recommendations
I recently purchased the Bricasti M3 for my system & am looking to upgrade my A-B USB cable. I currently have 2 USB cables that I used with my prior DAC (Qutest), a Cardas Clear that I preferred with my Qutest & an XLO ultra plus that I far prefer with my M3. It is OCC copper & actually sounds very good, but wondering if I can do better.
My target price is around $500 used, certainly willing to do less & willing to do more for the ’right’ cable. I am looking for a cable that is absolutely neutral.
I actually tried to buy an AQ diamond used yesterday, but was 2 hours late. Not sure if it was the right choice, but it was a great price & could resell if not right.
My virtual system is available, but my digital side is: Aurender N150 > XLO ultra+ > Bricasti M3 > Zavfino Arcadia > PSAudio BHK w/tele medical NOS tubes > Zavfino Fusion mk2 > SimAudio Moon 330A > Transparent + gen 5 > KEF Reference 3’s.
Please let me know your thoughts and/or recommendations. Thanks!

@jrareform no, unfortunately we can't try everything. I did hear the Audience line-up and decided to replace my Ansuz X2 USB with an Audience FrontRow USB which should arrive any day now. Audience makes some real sexy cables and I plan on buying Audience FrontRow-Reserve XLR'S next! Luckily for me my dealer can provide me with an in-home demo that includes the FrontRow-Reserve and a few other competive XLR'S as these cables aren't cheap and I need 2 sets. I'm also waiting for my new Furutech FURUTECH DPS-4.1 (OCC-DUC) 11AWG Power Cable with Furutech AC FI-50-NCF(R) Plug Male/Female which will be replacing the factory power cord on my Innuos Pulsar Streamer. And I'm waiting for my new Furutech JumperFlux-S which will be replacing the factory terminal jumpers on my LaScala AL5 speakers. Room treatment is still in the works.

@signaforce thanks! I’m sure I’ll have more questions after it arrives :) |
@fire_water funny thing about my experience with Audience…I always liked their digital cables and even power cords which work good on digital DACs, and I really dig their speaker cables - had AU24SX and upgraded to FrontRow that’s been in my system for quiet some time now. But I never had good luck with their interconnects. Also…when you get DPS-4.1 try it on amplifier as well. |
