Any views on optimum length for best performance of a USB cable, in particular for laptop to Majestic connection?
Has anyone experience of cables being either too short or too long in this respect?
Just listen, if it sounds good to you, enjoy it.

I'm using a 1.2m Lautus USB cable with my Majestic right now. Pure sound.

I'm currently using a nondescript USB cable 2m long, but ideally need one about 4m long.
No doubt John C could make a Lautus USB this long, but might the length have a deleterious effect on the signal?

Just listen, if it sounds good to you, enjoy it.

I think I read somewhere that  up to 5m for a USB is fine.

I think 1.2m is the minimum length for a Lautus in order for the Ferrites to be correctly positioned. I have been forced to swap from my Lautus to a different USB because I need a 5m length, due to rearranging my living room.  Sounds OK, & works just fine, though I will be replacing it with a longer Lautus as soon as I can. Lautus sounds better than any USB lead I've compared it to (I can say that, even if Graham can't).

Thanks Ash and Dave,
It goes without saying that the cable would have to be Lautus!!
