I wanted to know how much this bullshit cost and the review link I clicked is this impressively dogshit website: https://www.monoandstereo.com/2017/08/lessloss-c-marc-cables-review.html

quote:

PRICE

- C-MARC Power cord: 735 USD/2m (This was a time-limited initial build which has since been upgraded to the hand-braided C-MARC 'super-cord' power cable, 1148 USD/2m). You can check the LessLoss C-MARC power cable review here.
- C-MARC RCA: 850 USD/1m pair
- C-MARC Speaker Cable: 975 USD/1m pair
- C-MARC Hook-up Wire: from 30 USD/1m

"The tonal character of C-MARC™ is more liquid, fluid, and resolves more detail from any recording. As good as the DFPC, Anchorwave and Homage to Time are, they are still made of plastic (albeit very high quality plastic with excellent characteristics). Over and beyond the improvement in C-MARC™ that it is made entirely of cotton and a very thin layer of clear lacquer instead of plastic, the extremely well balanced counter-polarized coil technique lowers the noise even further than the methods employed in our legacy products, so the overall result is one of both lowered noise as well as one of purer tonal character. It is very easy to recognize these improvement straight from the start, even without burn-in."


Jeez. And what is hook-up wire exactly?

Someone linked a site over in the pseudoscience thread.



Oof. I mean, it looks nice, but it's so entirely uselessly complicated.

It's also a render, right?

Reverse audiophiles can be fun, too.




Context: This dude was adamant that his speakers have superior clarity and lower distortion than studio monitors costing 100x as much, based on a theory that Chinese manufacturers don't know that low frequency distortion is less audible, so they build their speakers and amps with super low distortion. And that somehow makes them sound better than studio monitors.

These are the speakers in question: https://aliexpress.com/item/4001105186185.html
