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.

Captain Irrelevant asks:

1. Does external vibration affect the signal in wires and if so how?
Yes. And see below.
2. Why do seemingly inert audio components like solid state amps benefit from being isolated from external vibration?
They don't. They benefit from vibration control. There is no such thing as isolation.
3. Is the audio signal In wires itself vibrational?

Yes. Which answers the first question as well.
Thumbs up! For trying, but not for answering correctly. At least you tried. 🤗 Are you channeling Michael Green? Knowledge can be defined by subtracting out all the stuff you have forgotten from school and measuring whatever’s left.
Kijanki, I understand I think we have a language problem though maybe not. You claim energy is delivered to a speaker by electromagnetic energy OUTSIDE of a cable. How does the current get to the speaker if the energy it gets is OUTSIDE of the copper or silver wire  as well as the insulation of the wire which is what makes up a CABLE  when only the metal is attached to the binding posts of the speaker. That doesn't  make any sense if that's the case we could simply toss the CABLE  somewhere near the speakers binding posts. I think, though I may be wrong, what you mean is  the energy flows on the skin of the metal wire inside the cable between the wire and insulation, not floating around in mid air OUTSIDE a cable. But like I said maybe I am still not understanding what you're  saying. 
Vibration doesn't  make a lick of difference sonically in a real world situation in people's homes except perhaps the TT or you're playing your stereo at strip club levels of noise. Then you need to worry more about going deaf than vibration. Of course you might live next door to a rock quarry where they are blasting all day in which case you also need to nail the pictures to the wall.
