But what about my shiny Certified USB 3.2 Gen1x2 Legendary SS+?

The cable names sound like gacha pulls.

("legendary" and "shiny" aren't actually part of the name but SS+ is and it stands for SuperSpeed+. which is super-a-gacha pull

Oh I know, but they aren't helping themselves with their naming schemes.

Audiophile USB cable. If you are buying that I have some rocks to sell to you.

I'm using a printer cable from 2006 to send audio out to my DAC. Sounds pretty fucking good.

I have connected my printer with a 120€ audiophile cable, and I tell you the prints are just a lot sharper. It gives the text a lot more air , especially around the serifs. Times New Roman looks especiallygood with it.

But does it feel warm? Can you see the texture of those patrices pounding the paper? The natural feeling of primal typographic power, transferred unbiased by our golden cable?
