Coat hanger as interconnect
Saw this on Engadget earlier in the week, surprised no-one els has mensioned it.
There is a thread on the Audiophiles forum on SlimDevices.com that I've been chuckiling at. Thread: Audiophile Deathmatch: Monster Cables vs. A Coat Hanger! - Slim Devices : Community : Forums Original source of discussion: Audiophile Deathmatch: Monster Cables vs. a Coat Hanger and Audiophiles can't tell the difference between Monster Cable and coat hangers - Engadget Now, here is a really interesting page: Optical cable test in question Seems the optical signal isn't as delicate as many like to insist.

Re: Coat hanger as interconnect
OK, understood now.
Interesting reading, and truly damning to audiophiles' beliefs - although I'm sure they'll still find weaselly words to refute this evidence... |
