Good cable is good wherever you place it.

Besides that expensive cable sure is pretty.

But that dirty Apple cable will surely add veils to the data and make the black spaces between notes less black.

Clearly you don’t go to enough classical music concerts , if you did then you would know why this works so well..

It’s all about playing with the texture of the mid bass, it’s for music lovers only though and clearly with all your graphs and DSP you dont and never will understand what “great sound” is.

Psshaw, they're just doing it wrong.

Until you put some African hardwood that’s been blessed by Tibetan monks and soaked in holy water under that I really can’t take you seriously. Though I am impressed by the green glow, that will help stop the 1’s and 0’s from escaping.

It's McIntosh green.

As for the holy blessing, you've completely ignored the medieval brass casing that was taken the holy and sanctified mace (see the spikes?) wielded by none other than the infamous Tomas de Torquemada, Inquisitor Generalis of the Spanish Inquisition.

And nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition. Not even digital.

Ah, makes sense, and with Brexit, exporting Python footage to Yanks will likely be the cornerstone of the new economy.
