RE: Anyone Ever Roll Their Own USB Cable??? Duster

Posted by Mike B. on May 16, 2012 at 12:18:34:
I have done some experimenting with USB cables. I first bought two identical made up cables and sent one to Jena for cryogenics. The cryoed cable was clearly better. I have since made a couple using the surplus silver plated copper wire with Teflon sold on ebay. I use three twisted pair. Two for signal and one pair for power. I then had them cryogenic treated. They sound better than the same length generic cryoed cable. YMMV
