content: Haven't seen this pop up on here before but check out this VDH ULTIMATE USB badboy!http://www.vandenhul.com/p_B39.aspxAccording to AVGuidehttp://www.avguide.com/article/bluebird-announces-new-van-den-hul-usb-ultimate-cableThis will set you back $599 but worry not, "Van den Hul's patented Hulliflex jacket provides a long lasting protective environment virtually eliminating oxidation which harms the sonic performance of wire. This means, when protected by Hulliflex, the sound of of your cables will not deteriorate over time." It will be worthwhile investment to protect the sonic performance of my USB cable

content: No Bitwelder, i think you'll find that these high quality USB cablesneedlarger images in order to work properly. Smaller ones tend to get lost in the background bullsh!t

content: Yeah, that is one ugly connector. Perhaps scam artists shouldn't be taking such high-resolution photos of their "products"...

content: Not bad cable manufacturers, just massively overpriced as they are squarely aimed at the AudioPhool market. Actually very nice to use, and do have a decent copper content and good terminations that are generally well done.I do have some that I got for free, can't tell any difference between them and the step up from ultra cheap ones...... I have been stripping them and making test leads from them.
