That’s pretty sweet tbh. Once they’re passé with the audiophile crowd, maybe I can get them cheap and put googly eyes on them

@secretbatcave @bloor “Loins booming” now there’s a description

@bloor ah yes, the maximally untwisted pair, for that extra interference on the signal lines. It greatly improves audio quality, or something.

@bloor Wut kinda crazy assed spider sht is this?

@bloor

I'd guess this person smokes some really interesting stuff while listening to some very strange music.

And has a lot of spare time.

@bloor whew. Fuck "Monster cable," that's Cthulu Cable.

@bloor audiophile usb cables hurt my brain too.

I would like one of these power cables for my toaster, though, ngl

@bloor no ground lifters... i am shocked!

@bloor I think that's treatable with antibiotics.

@tony @bloor Oh, I believe you're slightly wrong here.

The designer behind these cables knows a thing or two about psychology and how business economy works ....

@bloor
Could it be a misguided attempt at preventing the wires from interfering with each other?

@bloor

Drop a paper clip and cross the streams!

@bloor david cronenberg gets a boner from these cables

@thomasclaburn @bloor I think you mean antifungals. Antibiotics can exacerbate a fungal infection by reducing competition from harmless bacteria.

@bloor I've seen some crazy crazy stuff for audiophile applications (especially the usage of actual high amounts of silver — spending an enormous amount to supposedly make it actually sound different just because of the cable) but this is just... Stupid... Like there's a reason you do twisted pair! Twisted pair actually will have better sound due to this probably picking up more noise, so whoever came up with this is a nut.

@bloor

Here's the rest of that setup. Those are *mains power* cables — no bloody way that's legal.

The Reddit thread is fun, too.

@PeterLG @bloor Oh. My. God...

@c64whiz @bloor Turns out those are mains. (And I guess that's 240?)

Dropping a paper clip might just literally cross the streams.

@sophieschmieg hello "cage dipole".

@bloor #Audiophools are so funny
