WITCHCRAFT & CARBON AGE is the slogan, because carbon dating is used for the Stone Age. https://voodoolabs.myshopify.com/products/vl-witchcraft-cinch-rca-80cm

Well, that is certainly a rigorous accelerated stress test. In reality, specifications of audio equipment are not necessarily that high (then you're deliberately damaging it). I would return it if it does not fail too (money-back guarantee), then get another (of the same) one.

It's a somewhat unreliable approach, the technical answer is more like this: "The expected life time shall be about fifteen years at maximum as a guide in terms of deterioration of the sealant."...

Size does matter, but not as much as one may assume.

The geometry of the cable is balanced perfectly between yin and yang that harnesses arcane cancellation fields of the crystalline structure, apparently. https://www.liutanieaudio.com/en/connections/

Amor fati (Necessity is the mother of invention).

Good question. When I got a studio-quality audio interface and headphones. CDs copied perfectly to a computer, the same audio data as on the CD.

The new remasters often sound more detailed. It's not dynamic range compression, although there is often plenty of that too. I used to be ambivalent about original CDs or remastered CDs, but have confirmed digital remastering sounds better sometimes.

Static electricity is conducted by the hands to a certain extent. There is the triboelectric effect.

There's too much dynamic range compression when the volume can't be turned up to decent levels, because continuous power is overloading the ears (on decent hi-fi equipment, not mastered to compensate for loud background noise).

Makes sense if there is a lack of such tests. It is the same principles as other digitized line level signals. ADCs with minuscule distortion in specifications and linear frequency response cover such tests you are asking about...

The fallacy of composition is an informal fallacy that arises when one infers that something is true of the whole from the fact that it is true of some part of the whole.
