Living room audio cables don't have to deal with a harsh environment anyway.

Below a similar thin coax, very high quality, PTFE insulation, silver plated core wires and shield. Excellent RFI immunity, low shield impedance. People tend to laugh at cables, but this is no snake oil, just pure physics.
I use the same type of cabling and the thinnest copper or copper/silver terminal ends that are VERY tight.
I prefer screws with a hex and solder only if need be. It's not snake oil at all and it is a better cable than
lamp cord, extension cord or zip cord. Yes, the type of cabling, terminal ends and how they are attached
even more so. Not all solder is equal and not all soldered jocks are equal.
It's not snake oil, it's called staying out of trouble vs getting out of trouble.
I saw the pebbles, I've seen magnets too. I would expect a change if it collapsed, modified or some how
changed the field. Magnets have to mess with stuff? Am I wrong? Do rocks carry a charge. I'll ask a
few rockhounds and drillers, they have seen everything.
I've seen drill strings with a strong enough magnetic field to hold a good size wrench with no problem
from drilling. Subs have to be degaussed for a stealthier ship and magnetic mines.
All thing are held together by something, ay?

Damn, I thought my liver and kidney problems were related to my drinking habits. Bartender, I'll have another. Thanks Dan
Hi
I will not watch the video...
Mark (the man) Levinson pulled another fast one. I will not be surprised if some audiophiles take this B.S./him seriously. Some of these people were claiming they got headache when they listen to digital ... This could be the explanation these people were looking for ...
And, when you thought they couldn't sink any lower...
Peace.

This concept should be memorialized in a splash screen that pops up the minute you register for this site, with a CAPTCHA that forces you to sign an affidavit disavowing any notion that the choice of conductor, insulator, or direction of an audio cable has any influence on audio quality. I’d also vote for a similar covenant barring the use of the term “audiophile networking” but admittedly I can be a bit dogmatic.
Beat me to it, altho I'm not going to watch any of it.

I just reported this video and the Daniel Hertz website to the FDA for making false medical claims.
Seriously, F this guy. Someone dying from liver failure could buy one of these amps based on his BS. Then they'd be dying and $12K poorer. This is not just the normal snake oil, this is pushing the boundaries of honest-to-god criminality IMO.
I also left a mean comment on the youtube video. That'll show him!
The worst part... he claims that digital audio harms your health and his "c-wave" fixes it. And yes, you guessed it, the "C-wave process" is... digital.
Where to start...

The bastards did it , merged the health scam with audio woo . Prediction, others will soon follow !
Health/nutrition/wellness/medical pseudoscience is the bigger more lucrative scam , so they are realising that the dwindling supply of aging audiophiles are not enough
There are sadly many “alternative” cancer/medical scams ongoing everywhere.
Alternative medicine is a funny . If a method/herb/thing actually has real medical properties it will eventually be found out and incorporated in normal medical practices and stop being alternative ?
so if a thing is still “alternative” after all this time says something, like homeopathy...
Indeed... "alternative medicine" is, almost always, just an alternative to the thing that actually works*. Here we have the rare and exciting combination of (in the same sense) alternative audio engineering and alternative medicine.The bastards did it , merged the health scam with audio woo .

*There are exceptions of course, like many banned "street" drugs in the US have turned out to work well for legitimate psychotherapy. But you get my point.
The link is the easy bit.
