It's on www.thecableco.com for only $95?!I like the Venom USB quite a bit. In fact, it's my favorite now.

I just replaced an Audioquest Diamond USB with Chris' Silverstar USB and am very happy with the results
Hi Joe:
Thanks for your impressions. Lots of stiff competition out there.
I just reviewed this, and it is excellent as well:

Hi Paul:Andre,
I agree with you that the DH Labs Mirage USB cable is excellent, I use a 5 meter Mirage and am very happy with it.
But other than subjective superlatives, what I find missing from your review is subjective comparisons. As you said, you've evaluated multiple USB cables, so I'd think a useful bit of information would be a more specific description of its subjective presentation in comparison to other USB cables.
For instance, IMO, 2 very well thought of USB cables provide 2 very different presentations, the Audioquest Diamonds subjectively 'analytical' and the Wireworld Platinum Starlight somewhat 'warm'. 'Game changer' or not, I wouldn't think, all else being equal, someone preferring the Audioquest's presentation liking that of the Wireworld's in the same system.
If you accept that USB cables offer subjectively different presentations, where would you place the Mirage?
From my perspective, a reviews value is largely dependent on its context. Has the reviewer opined on a piece of kit that I've also evaluated, so I can 'normalize' their perspective against my own, and more ideally, does the specific review compare the product under review against other products with which I might be familiar.
Regards,
Paul
