Good USB cable

[Sue Pertwee-Tyr]

Perhaps money just isn’t an issue for people who claim they can hear a USB cable’s sonic signature.
I’ve heard of experiments proving that colours change the perception of things.
I chose my camp a very long time ago.

You’ve probably heard of the phenomenon of synesthesia, where somebody perceives a sound as a colour, say, or maybe a colour has a smell. This suggests that our senses are interlinked, even in non-synesthetic people there’s probably an interrelationship between senses. So removing one sense probably affects another.

Yes, our brain is an amazing thing, isn’t it.
I have some interconnects with silver wires in it. Honestly I didn’t know there was silver, until I did: then the interconnects were brighter sounding all of a sudden. More sheen to cymbals, more… well you know the hi-fi routine.
The effect disappeared after a while, of course.

Found these to be good value and from a recognised cable maker.

Recognised by whom and in what way?

People in the restaurant business are well aware of this. The same food can be perceived quite differently depending on the surrounding colours.

Like Lindy

So do I.
Just ordering one of their HDMI cables for use as I2S transfer, as well shielded as anything can be.
It is HDMI 2.0 certified though, their USB cables are USB certified, neither certified by a snake.

Lindy make no claim that their cables will make your audio sound better, brighter or darker only that they are certified to the standard required.
Ask your audio 'specialist' company to show their certification for their products, I suspect many have none.
German no BS company.

I would consider Belden to be a recognised and respected producer of cable.

A good quality USB does make a difference. Avoid cheap ones.

Eg silver cables sound "bright"?

Yes, they do if you know they are. Otherwise they don’t.
Likewise, if you know a USB cable is cheap, it will sound like that.
