Panty Saluter posted:Devil's Advocate: if they're stuffed with aluminium braid or something and it has a path to ground that should attenuate RFI/EMI pretty effectively. Of course, so would a decent 99% coverage quad shield coax but it's not nearly as impressive They must be quite light in weight as the interconnect versions would put a lot more strain on the connectors between the source / pre-amp / power amps. I'm surprised people listening to that setup weren't aghast at part of the speaker cable being behind a curtain (slight 'veil' to the sound hohoho).

If your hi-fi doesn't sound any better with those hyper expensive cables, that's 'cos your system simply isn't good enough, you pov.

Take the plunge! Okay! posted:https://mozzaik-audio.com/ I was shown an ad for this. It's an 8000 euro D class amplifier that also lets you... distort sound according to your personal taste, I guess? I have no idea what to make of this. "Six knobs. Infinite possibilities"

Was in a band in the late 90s and one of the recording studios gave us a VHS tape with the tracks on it (can't recall if it was Alesis ADAT format). Obviously was never able to get the recordings off (wonder if I still have the tape somewhere?).
