Back Top-end Audiophile USB Cable with Separate Signal and Power Cables Jay Victor's design for Pangea Audio's Premier XL USB Cable goes all out with an ultra-quiet approach by using separate cables to carry the signal and the power. The only meeting point of the two cables is at the USB B connector. Premier XL USB is packed full of other premium features, too. It boasts precision-wound 23-gauge signal conductors using the best copper on the market, Cardas Grade One Copper, plus a 6% pure silver plating. It also features nitrogen-injected foamed PE polyethylene insulation, quad shielding, and a tough woven nylon braided jacket. It's Not Just Zeros and Ones We occasionally get questions about USB cables from customers who are getting into digital audio streaming. They wonder why it would be worth investing in an audiophile-grade USB cable when they've been told that all USB cables are created equal as far as digital signals are concerned – that a $5 cable conveys the "zeros and ones" of a digital stream just as well as a more expensive cable. For the definitive answer, we asked Pangea Audio cable design expert, Jay Victor, "How can one digital USB cable sound better than another?" "A USB cable is not just carrying a bunch of zeros and ones," explained Jay. "The cable carries an electrical signal from one circuit to another. Lots of things can interfere with this signal, like radio frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI). Anything that affects that signal will cause distortion. Some of these distortions are bound to be audible." Cardas Grade One Copper Premier XL USB features precision-wound 23-gauge signal conductors using Cardas Grade One Copper plus a 6% pure silver plating. The insulation consists of premium nitrogen-injected foamed PE polyethylene. Cardas Grade One Copper is mined in Arizona, then shipped to a New England factory where it is very S-L-O-W-L-Y drawn into conductors in a process that includes reduction annealing between steps to further purify and meld the copper into what George Cardas calls "the most amazing audio conductor I have ever experienced. It is quite simply the best copper on the planet." "The bottom line is that the best phono cartridges manufactured in the world, the best transformer winders, and the best cable manufactures in the world are converting to this smooth sounding Cardas Grade One Copper," George reports. "It is simply stunning how using a combination of space-age technology (reduction annealing) and ancient drawing process (diamond dies and a slow multi stage annealing) can result in such a refined product."
