'Solid' usb couplers are not solid; cut one up to have a look. The way they connect the two sections with wires screw up impedance matching. The Regen one doesn't sound that good when compared to 1m and 0.5m Wireworld Starlights. My 15cm one sounds much better still and as the length is reduced from 0.5m, there appears to be sweet spots after 0.3cm. I tried making up a 'solid' connector using Starlight strands with shielding removed but there was no way of a rational impedance matched method of attachment unless one uses a signal analyser to investigate (which I don't have). The thing didn't sound much good either.
The cheap 15 cm cables that you can buy sound even worse.
