That was a fascinating video. It's hard for me to comprehend the amount of engineering and execution that Apple has put into a $130 cable. It makes the long video Cardas produced to show how they produce their speaker cable, seem somewhat unimpressive now. IMHO
Interesting video on cables
At the risk of opening up this can of worms again, my brother sent me this video. It’s incredibly interesting and goes some way to showing why cables matter and that all cables are not equal. These are USB cables but I’m sure the principle applies to speaker and IC cabling.

@bigtwin yeah when I saw the board with power supplies and integrated circuits it blew my mind. The CT scan was amazing as well. |
No, not really. This is geared more toward computer audio/video than USB as it’s used in more serious audio applications like sending a signal between a streamer and a DAC, and really nobody serious about audio is connecting to a computer at all. And this really doesn’t have much to do with analog speaker and IC cables — it’s really just a different world and application altogether. It’s an interesting video comparing Thunderbolt cables, but it doesn’t translate much to anything discussed on this site. |
