I can't believe people are stupid enough to buy poo poo like that.

I can't believe there aren't more people selling that poo poo to idiots.

At those prices, even if you sell just one...

How the hell do cables cause timing jitter? Jitter is caused by the digital circuits and discrepancies in timing crystals or something.

The only possible way for cables to cause jitter is through cross talk, which would cause localized speeding up/slowing down of edges by a very, very small amount (on the order of 10-100's of ps). This can be a problem when you're talking about something like a 1 GBit/s data stream.

This is also only relevant for signals with very fast edges, or very long cables, such that they need to be transmission lines. Which audio signals are most certainly not.

Brilliant Pebbles!
Just tape the little bag of rocks and sand to whatever needs to sound better.

You see, I have this rock that keeps tigers away...
