Belkin

Tony - you need to compare a $20 Belkin Gold (Which I incidently include with my USB converter) to the same length of Locus-Design Polestar playing music. The Polestar is not an expensive cable and not even the best out there, but absolutely kills the Belkin, and its more flexible. It's not marketing BS. I dont know that they even advertise this.

Belkin cable is a lot like all of the other "by-the-foot" cables on big spools made in China. Belden 1694A 75 ohm coax is the same. I have this too. They meet the specs for these types of cables, but it does not take much design skill to make something that sounds a lot better. Metals, dielectrics, shielding and geometries can all be improved.
