Its a risk im not going to take anymore, Only time will tell how these cables perform and ill gladly update everyone on it in time. |

I give them no respect, just wrap them up and chuck 'em in my bag. They are all still going strong... |

| Masako Barcalow 23.06.2012 | I did the same thing when I bought Mogami guitar cables. Yeah they're expensive and even maybe overpriced. From a tech perspective, they're no better than any other guitar cable in terms of connectivity. But going from 3 cables a year to one cable in the past 7 years? I'd definitely drop $50 again for that kind of peace of mind. Sometimes the investment isn't always in the realm of the tangible. |
| Addie Engbrecht 23.06.2012 | I like them. I dont know if they make a difference performance wise, but they do look good, but I'm the type of person that appreciates someone who spent money on a good looking set of rims on a car and also doesnt mind spending money on nice clothes. To me it's no different then those who spend money on colored knobs on their mixers or controllers (which I'm not a fan of BTW), if there really is any performance gain I'd be curious to know. If they were priced close to any other replacement cable, im sure every schmuck would have them, and I'm also sure they would all claim that they make a HUGE difference....but oh well |
| Brunilda Kora 23.06.2012 | Best of luck to you, mate - I sincerely hope you're investment pays off. |

| Jerica Salava 23.06.2012 | seriously. They are cool cables. if you love them and you can afford them, good for you. cheers. |
| Brunilda Kora 23.06.2012 | I shouldn't worry too much about the flames in this thread, mate. 'Cos you can afford stuff like this: Just sit back and enjoy 'em... |

| Romelia Stankard 23.06.2012 | It would be quite easy to prove there is zero difference in sound from one usb cable to another. Take any audio interfaces that has SPDIF connection (to rule out any errors from DAC conversions). Take any SPDIF cable and connect the digital input to the digital output of the soundcard. Open up your DAW and take a track and route the master output to the SPDIF out. Then open up a channel and route it from the SPDIF input, mute it, and arm it. Have the soundcard first connected with the cheapest functional usb cable you can find. Play and record the track into the muted channel. After it is finished then swap the USB cable to the fancy one and repeat the process. Now you have two audio files- invert the phase on one of them then combine them. If you are left with nothing that means there is no difference between the USB cables. If there is any difference there will be some noise left over, and this rules out any confirmation bias. |
| Random X 23.06.2012 | I had the honor of watching these USBneos in action last evening
. I though they did look 'purdy and stuph', but I though they weren't that usable as I thought they would be. This was due to the fact that they weren't soft/flexible but more sturdy/less flexible. |

| Ulysses Vittetoe 22.06.2012 | They really DO look sweet. Not something I'd spend that kind of money on, but more power to you if you feel it was worth the cost and you're enjoying using them. |
| Romelia Stankard 22.06.2012 | I'm not saying they are bad cables, I'm sure they are great. I'm just saying there is no sound quality difference from one usb cable to another. |
