USB cable shootout: 8 cables tested

Well I've also got a USB cable from Z axis audio I'm about to listen too as well, and was going to do an update to this thread or maybe a new one now with the the three back to back. However, as a bit of a teaser I'll give you some of my notes on the Sig ref (compared to the Tara Master):-

- Bass full, lots of lower tones, not quite bloated
-great stereo picture/timing v good/left-right sep good
-Listenable/musical quality, pushes image out more

In comparison, the Tara has :-

-slightly more detail
-fractionally pacier
-not as good stereo
-kick drum/deep bass punches harder
-more upper highs

Anwar, my contact at AA tells me that his local customers found that the Sig Ref was a bit weak on bass, and so he has tuned the Extreme to be more bassy!! Didnt think it was a problem personally, but lets see what happens

Thank you for spending so much time doing this and sharing your experience with us.
