Oh don't get me started on the audiophools :-)
Do they replace the wiring in their house as well
to prevent
micro-movements of the wires?
One of my favourites is 'monocrystaline copper cable' Since any bending
of said cable is going to disrupt the crystal latice, presumably it has
to come pre-shaped to fit thr room, right?
Well - I suppose if you can find someone to sell it to the audiophiles, I
connect up their speakers with copper brake pipe mounted on ceramic
insulators. Just think of it - never mind 79-strand, this cable is *one big
thick strand*! None of that interference caused by the surfaces of the
strands rubbing against each other! And of course, it's a tube, to make the
most of the "skin effect" to give you clearer high frequencies...
Gotta love it when the golden-eared folks apply RF transmission-line
theory to speaker cabling. My scepticism towards audiophile snake-oil
comes via heredity (my late father spent 40+ years in the industry).
