Future of cables!

https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-have-discovered-a-new-electronic-state-of-matter?utm_source=...

I know very little about cable technology & even less about quantum physics. I read this & immediately thought (10+yrs down the road) this would upend cable tech: efficiency, clarity, & probably a bunch of stuff I don’t even know about that goes into cable science.

So, say hello to your new 2030 $70k cables. I’m curious what other people think.

Of course this all brings us back to the unanswered questions,

1. Does external vibration affect the signal in wires and if so how?
2. Why do seemingly insert audio components like solid state amps benefit from being isolated from external vibration? 
3. Is the audio signal In wires itself vibrational?

  2. They don't need to be

How? The way everyone around here proves things with subjective experience? OK, I never heard any difference between using vibration control and not using it. BAM, proved.

If you can’t hear the difference it’s because you’re either going deaf or all thumbs. Just another outlier. No offense.
