What the, and I cannot overstate this, fuck?

@bloor that's *fascinating*. I can't stop looking at it.
What on *earth* were they trying to do here?
@SomeVeganCheeseIsOk @bloor I don’t know but I assume they are trying to reduce induced currents in adjacent wires.
EDIT yeah I know twisted cables already solve that, I mean that’s the grift
But…these are power cables? I have no idea. Audiophiles might as well be from a different planet

@bloor So… you don't have a cat then.

@bloor Audiophiles are some of the stupidest people in existence.

@bloor@bloor.tw finally I can listen to my youtube rips in full quality
-
@bloor Pretty sure that is a discombobulator.
-
@bloor I think I see what they're trying to do. By breaking the wires up and interweaving them, my guess is they're trying to get the magnetic fields to cancel. Maybe minimize the magnetic coupling between the power and signal lines?
I think any improvement is going to be really minor, but I get it.
I think you could do something similar by splitting power through multiple pairs with differing twist rates (similar to how CAT6 cable is built). But that wouldn't look as AWESOME as this!
-
@bloor you gotta un-twist those internal cables and let ’em breathe… 🤪
-
-
@bloor ok can someone please explain WTF this is supposed to do? network technichian here. there are reasons why you twist the wires around each other so there is less cross talk. so i have no idea wtf this is and why.

@bloor Audiophiles can be some of the most gullible people on the planet.

@bloor Audiophool-grade cables.
-
@bloor instant cat toys.

@bloor
Could it be a misguided attempt at preventing the wires from interfering with each other?@grendel84 @bloor isn't that what shielded cable is for ( says the old bitch that has built about a million of them but doesn't know engineering) ?
-
@bloor audiophile rocks
Yes they want you to buy rocks meant to improve sound somehow???
These are almost $500 but there's more expensive ones

@bloor Those are probably the worst network cables, from an electrical standpoint, I've ever seen. You loose all the advantages of twisted pair.

@Crystal_Fish_Caves
oh I'm not saying what they did is actually effective
It's just the only possible explination I can come up with!
@bloor -
You need to cool the cables, that's clear
-
@bloor audiophiles are the biggest marks. they fall, in large numbers, for the "gold plated TOSLINK" trick.
