$1 Million Cable Challenge

[audio2design]

@ai1 - The whole thing is a hoax. I assume it is a big joke being played on audiophiles of a certain persuasion.

Ah-ha, I have finally watched the video. Had to do it before posting;-(

Who is sourcing the 1 million dollar prize? Show me the money!

It's a joke, people. They're parodying wanker cable companies.

Heh, presume it was a ‘real’ offer:

You would have to declare first run are NOT the best in order to win…which would inherently admit cables don’t sound the same.

That's the beauty isn't it. If all cables sound the same, then they're all the best.

No one heard of superconducting speaker cable?

Classic marketing bs, personally, I'd bet the million doesn't exist and will never be paid out. Indeed, this is just an advertising campaign and already people are falling for it. :-(

You don’t know just how true that is!

Nice job @SimpleTheater.
Made me laugh as usual .
Waiting for the next one !!

I think some people are not getting that the whole First Run Copper thing is a spoof. It's to demonstrate how gullible some can be.

 

[Katji]

Yes indeed. /s

It is full-on fuckabout. This person responsible must be sent to the re-education centre along with the rest of them.
Or else it is "clever" marketing. - iow, marketing himself, whatever else he does for his hustle.

No, you don't say. Well I guess I don't need my Rigol ds1054z 4 channel oscilloscope anymore then.

Scam , and no you do not need this bit of junk, use it as a fishing weight , and buy a Tektronix's pro scope. And not a digital pile of poo.
Have fun.

All modern scopes are digital.

All modern scopes are digital.

Sorry not when I have one it cost 10K and is 4 channel with spectrum , and BW of 200Mhz, bought it in the USA just 5yrs ago.

Sounds fairly low spec. At $10k you should be getting at least 500Mhz of bw and if it's less than 25 years old, it's digital.

Settle down guys, this thread is to discuss the $1 million cable challenge that "cables don't make a difference" guys are unable to win because First Run Copper ( www.firstruncopper.com ) is just that good. And for what it's worth, $10K only gets you about a foot of First Run Copper.

The copper is so pure they won't even let their website be sullied by HTTPS. Encryption produces audible smearing of the soundstage (as everyone knows).

Every penny is going into the copper quality, why waste $25 annually on SSL encryption. These guys are all about what's best for their customer.
