Nice!
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.

@jdougs the originals are made in China so that is a real safe bet. 🧐🧐 |
@vthokie83 Thanks for all the great info. Sounds like you were on a similar path with respect to DAC/DDC decisions. I think I'm leaning more toward the Hermes but will send Alvin a message and see what he says. |
@jastralfu - Interesting technology and to some extent would help in discering the different cable geometries used. Unforunately it does not address the metal use in the wire e.g. OFC, vs. OCC ot Copper vs silver or the type of insulation Many of the good cable companies do divulge what goes into their cables e.g. Inakustik Here are some pointers on What makes a Good Cable

No, this video is not proof that the gimmickry employed by audio cable manufacturers is anything other than just that. Completely different applications. Time and time again, measurements have proven that cheap audio/power cables perform as well or even better than the ultra expensive stuff hawked by the likes of snake oil companies such as Synergistic Research. Those are just the facts. If you go searching for videos that prove this, you’ll find plenty. The major problem with society these days is people seek out only the data or anecdotes that support their preconceived notions. In the case of the OP, the data doesn’t even apply to the topic under debate. 🤦♂️ |
