free-range silkworms...

Hello, For truly magic capacitors, guess we need to try silkworms that have been kept high on pot for their lives. Get that high end really smooth.

I prefer mine bitten by a radioactive spider. I noticed an immediate difference in my system.

As good as this power cord is, just imagine what it would sound like plugged into the PS Audio Direct Stream Nuclear Power Plant Quantum-Flux Regenerator line conditioner. Just thinking about it makes me want to have a cigarette, and I stopped smoking forty years ago!

I am laughing - great comments. Maybe some skin cream to get rid of the skin effects might be warranted

Also, when the earth's magnetic poles flip, will need new stuff.

Check out this moron, trying to demo inaudible snake oil power cord differences over YouTube, and looks like his audience miraculously can hear the difference...

if such difference could be recorded, then why didn't the recording engineer used these power cords during recording to improve SQ? (I've asked this question in the video comments, but my question got deleted...

Here's a good one:

"when connecting a PC directly to a DAC, as both server/core and streamer, then the higher powered PC will generally sound better than a lower powered one.

The exception to this is where a PC is used as the server/core and audio is streamed via ethernet to a DAC. In this case the higher powered PC will sound better as the server/core"

Out of curiosity I wanted to find out what those went for so went to the US distributor site, and before I even got there I found out I *need* to spend $160 for a nano-crystal outlet cover to "generate negative ions that eliminate static and convert thermal energy into far infrared" - should I organize a group buy? LOL

"...the higher powered PC..."

What do you suppose they meant by that? Higher powered processor? Higher powered PC power supply? Higher power to the PC?

Like if I plugged my PC into 220VAC it would improve the sound?

I'm going to go try that...

My van has a 360V battery. I wonder if music will sound better streaming from my van’s stereo system

It's actually worse than that. You need 'golden ears' to hear it. I wonder if 'golden instruments' would be able to measure it.

The problem is they aren't using audiophile leads and power cord on the test instruments so all the improvements are lost.

No golden instruments just golden showers for the golden ears.

Ok, not really Snake Oil, (unless you are looking for truly accurate indicators perhaps!), and if you don'd mind plastic and you MUST have volume meters for that audiophile system...

"Offering far more bandwidth than is needed" Yup Cat 8 will do that.
You can have 240 of these for the same price:

Ethernet is for plebs and barley good enough to stream MP3s

Real audiophiles use InfiniBand

I never undestood this playing demo stuff over youtube kind of tests at all, they are very popular.

Do crackpots thinks that even existing real smal difference's would survive any kind of YouTube compression algorithms ? Gross FR error's may be possible to demonstrate remotely this way ? but not much else ?

At first I thought you were bullshitting, so I googled it.

It really does exist.
