For those not aware, USB is a digital communications format. This means it transmits in ones and zeros. The exact same data comes out of the cable as goes in - its not changed. If there is sufficient noise, the device simply doesn't function, and this would be a defective cable.

All the super duper magic treatings you give to a USB cable cannot change the fact that the exact same series of ones and zeros comes out the other end. The cheapest functioning cable, to $3000 super duper quantum tunneling cables (You don't know what quantum tunneling is, do you? They are sure hoping you don't.) all produce the exact same output.

Anyone who thinks they hear any difference is a lair, pure and simple.


More eduction for the gullible:

Quantum tunneling is the effect where photons and other QM-size particles can randomly jump to a new position. It can be in one place one moment, and another place the next. What this has to do with cables, no one has any idea, including the people selling "quantum tunneling enhanced" cables, which pretty much translates to "We're ripping you off because you are gullible enhanced".
