RE: Help needed with cable lengths

My advice is not to listen to anyone else, but to listen for yourself to different cables, if the issue is of concern. It is not that hard to try stuff. Then, you can embrace your own beliefs based on what you, not someone else, claims to have heard.

None of the manufacturer, reviewer, or audiophile forum denizen claims are based on science or on bias-controlled listening. So, it comes down to a matter of belief and what your own ears tell you. It also may be system dependent, so there are no universal, hard/fast rules you can rely on based what other "gurus" give you, as Moses did with the tablets on Mt. Sinai.

Me. I hear no advantage or disadvantage to short USB cables, and I use a 15 footer, myself, though nothing exotic. I also abandoned my Regen awhile ago. And, specific "optimum" lengths for USB, coax, etc. are just whatever you wish to believe.
