How do you get a 'long term' loan? Can you say, shill? I knew you could.
Someone has to be pretty hard up to have to borrow a USB cable.

I suppose you could say they invented a problem.Standard 75 Ω coax such as RG-6 or RG-59 works perfectly for S/PDIF signals. There is no problem that wasn't solved 100 years ago.
Extraordinary claims call for extraordinary loans to back them up.The latest 'News from the Moronosphere'
Compared directly with my long-term sample of Chord's SilverPlus, the Epic USB delivered a slightly darker and, on brief audition, fractionally less vibrant sound. Listen longer, however, and it's clear that the Epic USB is marginally more refined, possessed of great control and delivering energy and passion when required as slickly as it will reveal subtle details.

18 hours of Wagner is enough.I got 13 pages in and got a headache.
S I'd be interested to see the effect of 150+ hrs of Wagner vs. the same time using Mozart on a cable. I dread to think of the results using 150+ hrs of Spice Girls, not so much on the cable but the poor unfortunate who'd have to listen to it.
Does that 'burn-in' have to be done continuously or are breaks allowed, and for how long?
And Brahms will sound terrible. You’ll need different cables for Schumann and Mendelssohn too.18 hours of Wagner is enough.
Did anyone ever tell these boneheads that unbalanced RCA interconnects were never designed to be used outside the equipment to connect up other equipment ??
Has anyone bought the "locking RCA" version of these cables? I find the female RCA connections on my Topping D90 to be a little "short" and that my RCA's are not as firmly held as I would like. The locking RCA ends would give me piece of mind. I have the locking WBT's on some Kimber Hero's and they have been great. Is the quality any good on these? The price sure is right. Thanks!
I use this:
The sound improved dramatically.
Before I couldn't hear anything coming out of my speakers.
The difference is like night and day.
Transparency is insane and the red stripe minimizes losses in case I have to bend it sharply.
Sound could be more airy but what can one expect from OFC.
Those cables should be ok in producing sound from your speakers but if you want real BASS and real BOTTOM end you seriously need to consider upgrading to AudioQuest cables.
I think that's what the CAPITALS are about .I hope you are joking...
I don't have any, but from what I understand they don't lock so much as they clamp. Kind of like a collet, if you're familiar with machine tools.I don't think there are locking versions. Only XLR has locking mechanism. RCA are held together by friction only.

I think the profile is meant as some sort of a joke? I mean, look at the name
Reminds me of those YouTube videos about long dead historical figures, where the same dead person "happens" to have a YouTube account and writes something in the comments.
Watched a video from gr research today. Hilarious! At 11:20 he talks about how a rope in the middle of his diy speaker cables changes the sound. The cable business is really getting out of hand.
