Could it be a misguided attempt at preventing the wires from interfering with each other?@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) ?

@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!

You need to cool the cables, that's clear

@bloor audiophiles are the biggest marks. they fall, in large numbers, for the "gold plated TOSLINK" trick.

Why didn’t they braid the power cable? -

Why didn’t they braid the power cable?@Moss_the_TeXie @bloor Too little opportunity for interference

@bloor, I think that I'll just note that “wired” is an anagram of “weird” and leave it at that.
(Also of “I drew”, but I don't think that that's relevant.)
@lp0_on_fire
This cable is actually also "wider".

@bloor is that a cope cage for the cable within, to defend against FPV drone-armed rabbits who'd like to chew on it ?

@secretbatcave @bloor “Loins booming” now there’s a description
@FeloniousPunk @bloor haaa, that was a typo, noise still stands
Probably best to imagine it as Lord flasheart from Blackadder

Here's the rest of that setup. Those are *mains power* cables — no bloody way that's legal.
The Reddit thread is fun, too.
https://www.reddit.com/r/audiophile/comments/1nzo3rw/for_true_separation_of_instruments/What's also pretty telling is the "power comes from the wall" mindset underlying this setup.
Unless they added these cables into the walls. And added a ton of filtering and smoothing.
