Once in a while I come across shorts of this audiophile showing of his gear. The cables he uses look like under sea cables, like he’s pulling 40kV out of his wall socket. It’s so ridiculous

EDIT: This fucking shit. I guess that they’re using XLR cables at the very least but cmon man what the fuck are those cables (especially the second setup)

It’s not about sound quality, it’s about wasting money and showing off. Maybe some placebo effect, too.

In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud — 'The mud should sound perfectly awful, but it doesn't,' notes the experiment creator
