Because everything matters, of course...
Good thoughts-practices, and welcome to ASR forums!Basically, I never understood why someone would spend so much money on cabling. The only times I spend more then normal is if the cable is visible and I like the look. I don't trust ABing things like cabling because of memory not being accurate. for minute changes. I have tested lamp cord to $100/ft cable and heard zero difference. Most of my interconnects are a mix of Hosa pre-made and Mogami that I now assemble myself. If it's visible, I add a sleeve.
Talking heads are one of my all time favourite bands , welcome and thanks for kicking off your first post.Been lurking her for awhile, and figured I'd post here for the first time.
I am not a pro by any sense of the imagination. I did work for my neighbor who was an audio engineer and built custom studio consoles for some of the major recording studios here in Burbank, Sun Valley etc. He used to pay me $15 hr to pack circuit boards. He also did sound engineering for Blondie, Talking Heads, Wall of Voodoo in the 70's/80's.
Back then cabling seemed so haphazard and random. Studios just had bulk random generic cabling and I don't remember any talk of esoteric magical wires. Many times I went with him to Radio Shack to grab some cheap patch cables, wire spools etc.

What a bunch of snake-oil sales marketing!! AKA Crapolahttp://audience-av.com/cables/au24se/
The idea of cables as components is a controversial subject. There are many who think that "wire is wire" and don't accept that cables can either optimize or compromise the performance of an audio system. Traditional tests for difference in cable reveal very little if any electrical differences between brands. However, the human ear/brain is a far more sensitive and discriminating test apparatus and deciphers differences in cable brands rather easily. This ability can be developed much like wine tasting. As you become more experienced, differences, shadings and nuance become more readily noticeable.
Audience Conductor and Au24 cable products are the end result of years of research into what matters most in an audio system...true fidelity to the signal without artificial embellishments or unwarranted voicing. Audience cables are not off the shelf items that have been adapted for use in an audio system, they are products that have been designed to actually preserve the audio signal in the least damaging fashion possible. "Neutral" or "natural" are the terms we hear most often when end users describe their performance.

It’s made of dreams , dreams to make a shit load of fast money .They don't even say what the cable are made of.
At least Audioquest provides cross-sectional diagrams and materials lists, even if the explanation of why it matters to sound is bullcrappy.

Nice, I've got something very similar.Iv got this..,

The fun is over way to quickly with these though..That's just bad weapon design for a blunt trauma instrument.
I don't think the barbed wired increases impact PSI much compared to a more time-tested flange on a mace:
Oh oh, he's changed his persona again. Strange looking bit of gentlemen in the avatar for him though.Hmmm... Our Moderator reaches for a barbed-wire bat to moderate? Methinks the term "moderate" has been stretched a bit...
Well he will only use it here after first trying it on himself, with his preferred lube of course.Hmmm... Our Moderator reaches for a barbed-wire bat to moderate? Methinks the term "moderate" has been stretched a bit...
