What the, and I cannot overstate this, fuck?

@bloor Pretty sure that is a discombobulator.

@bloor I think I see what they're trying to do. By breaking the wires up and interweaving them, my guess is they're trying to get the magnetic fields to cancel. Maybe minimize the magnetic coupling between the power and signal lines?

I think any improvement is going to be really minor, but I get it.

I think you could do something similar by splitting power through multiple pairs with differing twist rates (similar to how CAT6 cable is built). But that wouldn't look as AWESOME as this!

@bloor you gotta un-twist those internal cables and let ’em breathe… 🤪

@dazo @tony @bloor I wish I'd thought of it.

@bloor ok can someone please explain WTF this is supposed to do? network technichian here. there are reasons why you twist the wires around each other so there is less cross talk. so i have no idea wtf this is and why.

@nuintari @bloor "Sure, but my $800 volume knob on my amp is harmonically balanced and really adds a 'richness' to my experience.

@bloor "congratulations, you turned a shielded cable into an antenna"

@bloor Audiophool-grade cables.

@bloor instant cat toys.

@grendel84 @bloor isn't that what shielded cable is for ( says the old bitch that has built about a million of them but doesn't know engineering) ?

@BoloMKXXVIII @greem @bloor 🧑‍🥫

@bloor audiophile rocks
Yes they want you to buy rocks meant to improve sound somehow???
These are almost $500 but there's more expensive ones

@bloor Those are probably the worst network cables, from an electrical standpoint, I've ever seen. You loose all the advantages of twisted pair.

@Crystal_Fish_Caves
oh I'm not saying what they did is actually effective

It's just the only possible explination I can come up with!
@bloor

@bloor

You need to cool the cables, that's clear

@PsyChuan @bloor yea I found it funny running across them when I was trying to find minitoslink to toslink

@bloor Simultaneous trypophobia that makes me want to rip all the skin off my skull ... and admiration!

@bloor
Speak to me like I am five and explain to me what is an "audiophile"? (^_^)

@bloor
Why didn’t they braid the power cable?

@bloor HAVE THEY NOT HEARD OF SHIELDING???
