@nazokiyoubinbou @c64whiz @bloor Well, I was just thinking which stream you might cross when messing with a mains cable

️@gunchleoc @c64whiz @bloor ...
I have never heard anyone call (what is supposed to be) a huge river a "stream" but ok.
I believe it means "don't cross the streams*" which is a reference to the original Ghost Busters movie. (No clue why it's resurrected these days as a modern Internet meme, but it shows up a lot, lol.)
(* except that one time)
Or maybe it just means audio streams or something. I don't know.

Most of us didn't know these were mains cables originally until that other post.

@bloor lolwut, what kind of crochet is that, they could’ve tried to make an effort at least.

@bloor Bob Pease (R.I.P.) wrote an article a long time ago about "audiophile" speaker cables. He found plain old zip cord and even ribbon cable was just as effective.

I did wonder if one of the Encabulators would make an appearance. Have a doughnut

@bloor those are going to pick up SO much dust and crap.

@bloor I know this is a joke, but I wonder how this would sound.
Not how good it would sound, but if it would impact the input sine wave. -

@bloor Audiophiles can be some of the most gullible people on the planet.

@bloor I have so many questions, but I don't know which one is more important -

@bloor that's *fascinating*. I can't stop looking at it.
What on *earth* were they trying to do here?

Here's the rest of that setup. Those are *mains power* cables — no bloody way that's legal.
The Reddit thread is fun, too.

@SomeVeganCheeseIsOk @bloor I don’t know but I assume they are trying to reduce induced currents in adjacent wires.
EDIT yeah I know twisted cables already solve that, I mean that’s the grift
But…these are power cables? I have no idea. Audiophiles might as well be from a different planet
