@madavid0. Yes, fancy-ass cables are a scam. Here’s Roger Russell, who knows a lot more about it than I do: http://www.roger-russell.com/wire/wire.htm
Anticables
Does anyone have any experience with Anticables products? I spent over $600 on a pair of honestly cheap-looking ICs from them and after 400 or so hours burning them in I'm hard-pressed to tell the difference between them and an old set of no name ICs built from pro cable stock and heavy metal RCA connectors.
For all I know they are made out of regular bulk copper spools in a plastic sheath and wrapped in a Slinky.
