It took him a full 11 paragraphs to finally get to the "cleared away the fog" metaphor. Audiophile, Schmaudiofile.

"Even beginner audiophiles won't have any use for cable lifts" CORRECT!

"Only after you've achieved a sufficient degree of resolution will you hear what they can do."

I loved the big straw man being built right from the get go. RFI is Science- so you need to do something about it!

I achieve a degree of resolution every year around January 1st but the fog settles in by February or so

Very resolving!

Just need a ruler mate. Perfect measurements I reckon, 6.25 inches. No more , no less.

The Sound of RFI

!

Made me chuckle.

 

[Jimbob54]

"The AudioQuest Fog Lifters, a surprisingly effective, very affordable RFI remedy, act like focusing lenses and ratchet up definition. It's like affixing a girdle to the system's middle tire and containing the bloat. Not surprisingly, they work especially well with AudioQuest's own cables."

All of the synergies.

$150 and its yours . Cheap at twice the price

When you tune your radio to your favorite station then you are listening to RF.
Then let a DC motor run alongside your antenna and you can listen to RFI.

This is not audiophile but a prime example of audiophool.

"Hold on, this is waiting to be approved by Positive Feedback. " I doubt it makes the cut

and after you bought couple of lifters, then you must buy The Extender!

I've heard being an audiophool is an expensive hobby

If you spent a few grand more you'd hear it even clearer.

I liked the bit about the 1ms delay caused by RFI. Possibly even group delay.

’That doesn't mean RFI is innocuous—far from it. If it gets into a component, the signal will appear altered and accurate processing will be compromised, most likely manifesting as messed-up timing. For example, the lower-midrange might be delayed a millisecond, then linger around too long. Frequency coherency gets out of sync causing smearing and blurry conditions—in other words, fog. That is exactly what the Fog Lifters remediate.’

In 40 years designing ICs and RF ICs I never came across this phenomenon - guess I must have missed something

Im unsure why RFI will choose to ignore a cable that is 6 inches off the floor suspended on fishing wire , but will pick mercilessly on the humble one left wallowing in the murk on a floor.
