What the, and I cannot overstate this, fuck?

yea, verly!

Wacky, but doesn't beat the article where they compared the sound of digital music files stored on an NTFS file system versus those stored on an ext3 file system.
I can't remember which one won, but one of them reliably had a richer, fuller sound.

@bloor tbh, data centers would look way more cool if Ethernet cables looked like that.

@bloor seems legit

I mean... it's ... creative?

@bloor@bloor.tw Why do I have the urge to see and hamster run thru it?

@bloor audiophiles are the biggest marks. they fall, in large numbers, for the "gold plated TOSLINK" trick.

@bloor@bloor.tw I've seen some wild "audiophile" nonsense, but ... whut?

@bloor I recall visiting a high-end audio shop maybe 25-30 years ago. They had a Denon single CD player, almost a cubic foot in volume, for $5000. I asked salesperson about "why?", and among its features was "no stray light can get and interfere with the laser." Hell, a runaway train couldn't budge it. Strangely, I did not purchase it.

@gunchleoc @c64whiz @bloor I know that. And there is a band named after it and other things as well.
But what does that have to do with it?

@nazokiyoubinbou @c64whiz @bloor Well, I was just thinking which stream you might cross when messing with a mains cable

@bloor it probably harmonises the electron wave function so they collapse at the same time as they enter the synergistic flux capacitor interface.
Or some such bollocks.

@bloor thanks for the chuckle. I judge real audio people by their cables. For example Nelson Pass was interviewed in his lab and he was running normal speaker cables all over, since he knows what electricity is and how audio works. At that point I added his amps to my audio wish bucket list.
Paul from PS audio, who is not an audio engineer, on the other hand, advocated $5000k speaker cables and showed setups using them. That removed ps audio as a potential gear source.
Made my own cables. $10.
