I don't know what they were trying to prove because they chose two alternatives that I would expect to perform as good as if not better than standard copper cables. If the comparison was to high quality cables then maybe they would have a point but plain copper cables have terrible signal quality. They are literally antennas which receive every radio single, wifi, bluetooth, radar, everything gets picked up on them to distort the music you're listening to. It's no surprise that alternatives are better.

Bad music will sound bad even on $1000 autism speakers.

And good video games are good with a chink controller on a 720p TV from 2005.
You'd still be retarded to use them willingly.
>>
>>108192761
Yep
>>108192809
Yes, and they're made of high quality copper as well. But they are made of high quality materials and they are well insulated. The water in mud or bananas (and the potassium in the bananas) are good conductors too. I never said that conducting electricity was a bad thing for cables.

It's always funny to see vulnerable narcissists on 4chan, an anonymous website.
You should die on a better hill though. Science knows what is audible to humans, and your $10 chinkphones aren't anywhere near that limit. There isn't a debate, you are wrong.

>>108192616
Wires don't matter unless they're super cheapo thin ones that have measurable resistance or are arranged in a way that creates significant capacitance.
Speakers make a huge difference though. Shitty little speakers like the ones in phones for instance. The most easily noticed problem is the lack of bass.

$30 logitech speakers that work for 5 years until I buy them again are perfectly fine, you literally never need more.
Bass is the nigger of audio, when you hear bass you know a nigger is nearby.

I used to be an audiophile, then I got old. Currently use Timeless IEMs and nothing else sounds any better

>when you hear bass you know a nigger is around
niggers have been appropriating our culture for centuries.
>>
>>108192969
there's a difference between 12"+ 1000w subs to blast at high volume, and having a smaller sub to subtly hear basslines. if you lived your life without a sub, you basically deprived yourself of good music.
>>
>>108193172
Not the bass guitar you doofus.
>>
>>108193230
bass is a waveform of between specific frequencies, it matters not the instrument. bass is not an invention of niggers.

>muh bass

Music is not worthy of archival. I listen to it exclusively on youtube because I recognize music as disposable, fleeting condom entertainment that you throw away once you're done with and I wouldn't be significantly upset if it was gone from life.

Speakerwires are not the same as the cables

Hi audiophiles. I recently got an Astro a50, it was on sale, it's wireless. I just use it to talk, game and media consoom. I upgraded the earpads with some fake leather ones.

Obviously, but $100? $300? $500? There is a point where any increases in quality are not worth the price increase at best or not noticeable at worst. Going past the first line is fine if you have money and nothing else to spend it on, while going past the second one is just objectively retarded by any metric.

Yeah no shit, actual audiophiles (not the fake audiophiles that are just rich boomers throwing money around) could have told you speaker wire salesmen are bullshit, same with those $50,000+ boutique speaker brands.
I would say $5000 is the most you would ever need to spend to reach audio recreation perfection.

Literally anyone who ever worked with audio and knows physics will tell you audiophiles are actual schizophrenics, but won't say this publicly because they spend a lot of money and "customer is always right". If he wants a golden wire and a set that's placed on an elevated platform from african wood for 100k USD, go ahead. He's the idiot paying you.

>>108192606
A friendly reminder that the entire audiophile market is just a massive cope for aging people trying to recapture the hearing range of their youth lost to time and abuse. Notice how all the audiophiles are middle aged and older? Not a coincidence.
>>
>>108196204
Yes, this mud has been hand harvested by a single family. They've been harvesting only the best sounding mud for 12 generations.
>>
>>108192606
i hate this retardation. look at the fucking article title. it literally says it doesn't sound bad. if the signal quality is ok who cares what medium it goes through? the whole thing pretend audiophiles are idiots because they can't tell it's mud, but if the signal is fine why would it matter? if the signal travels through and comes out the other side intact who cares what it runs through? this is low quality bait and nothing more. a scientific approach would have actually measured the change in signal quality.
>>
>>108196347
>if the signal quality is ok who cares what medium it goes through?
audiophiles? That's what it's making fun of retard
>>
>>108196347
The point is that audiophiles spend thousands on gold cables with shielding thicker than their arms all for the sake of "sound quality", and then there's no actual difference in quality between that and some mud and bananas.
>>
>>108192616
You can tell a difference up to $100, it's after that where it gets iffy. $100 is nothing for audioschizos.

Main questions for REAL audiophiles while shopping:

>which cable has my favorite colors and matches my aesthetic?

In general you'll find alot of middle age people with expensive hobbies.
It mostly just comes from the fact older people tend to have extra money to spend as they are farther in their careers/jobs
Alot of the audiophile stuff has parallels with other hobbies.
Audiophile stuff in particular just seems weird because there is no ceiling and diminishing returns are very early.

It's ultimately just a money sink
