@Drayventhal @bloor @hiisikoloart @david_chisnall wow, we were already making fun of those people 30+ years ago.

There is nothing you cannot sell to audiophiles -
@bloor they are digital cables ;3

@bloor I don’t care what people say, I can _hear_ the difference when I use these $20000 custom audio cables.
Worth every penny.

That is pretty interesting, thank you.
It seems I stumble upon strange tech lore every day here.

oh I'm not saying what they did is actually effective
It's just the only possible explination I can come up with!
@bloor@grendel84 @bloor I would love a few feet of it for cat toys

Early days with this product but first impressions are very positive. The sound is now “calmer” you get the impression the performers have more time and space. The entire frequency range is sharper but without being brittle. There’s just a rightness with the music, I am drawn in to the music, more engaged and that is what the listener is always striving for. I think the English Electric 8Switch is a keeper!
What are those people smoking?
Can I have some?The more you pay, the more you need to convince others it's better ... Otherwise you admit to being fooled and tricked to give away lots if money for no valid reasons ... Basically to not look like an idiot ... except ........

@bloor it must to be mitigate cross talk between cables, I feel like there's better ways to achieve that

@bloor Sometimes I think the audiophiles need interventions, but then I remember that they are mostly rich people whose lives are so empty
