usb cables expensive v cheap
An audible difference between USB cables ?
Really ?
Laughed so hard my bum bled.
Sorry Ifor, what is your point? 
My point is that WHF reviewers have given exceeding favourable reviews to some USB cables. Mr Roth is obviously of the opinion that the reviews are rubbish. Therefore, I ask why we should trust reviews of Roth products when reviewed by the same team?
Borrow because the question by OP is related to cost of the cable.... To avoid him spending extreme amount of money unnecesarily.
This is hifi and music. Make a decision base on what one hears, not based on what other people hear, or whatever a 6 page long thread on 1s and 0s discussion trying to prove or whatever a review says. YMYD.

So you are saying WhatHiFi reviews are influenced by owners views?

Whatever it is, it isn't a Ratner moment, as he's not slagging off his own products.

The reviews might be absolute nonsense but they are valuable in helping (or not, depending on review result) sales of products. You can take from a magazine review what you will, but it's better to make an informed decision based on actual exprience and using a little common sense and knowledge, rather than being sucked in by marketing, paid for or otherwise.
As for Roth AV? I've no idea of the products made/sold, but I'm wary of all reviews regardless.
As someone has said before, fools will always be fooled all of the time.

I don't get this. Are you saying that if my friend supports the English cricket team (as me), then I should be happy about his support for Manchester United (when I support Man City), simply because we both support the same team in cricket?
I think it's clear Mr Roth should visit his GP.
