What? I have left mine on for 40 years,does it make a difference in connection to take them off.ill have to try that.enjoy the music the search and the science.
+1 @mwh777 - He is right in that the plastic netting is just there to protect the connectors so they don't get the new shiny surface all scratched up when packaging and shipping. That is all it is.
The best answer in these kind of topic discussions is … Just do an A B blind test to see for yourself if it makes a difference on your system if you really want to find out. Don’t listen to us bunch of old crotchety, tinnitus ridden, overly opinionated know it all’s. Have fun with it yourself😉
Well, one of those thingies could be made out of fine copper screen knitted to fit, Then the forum could engage in endless arguments about whether or not a difference could be heard. The arguments alone might be worth the price of admission.
That always reminds me of buying a pear or other fruit at the grocery store. The netting is to keep it from getting damaged. I always assumed they leave it at audio shows because they are in a rush to set up and will be taking everything back down in a few days. Also they might lose it, so keeping it on makes sense.
I can see the confusion. Whenever you’re looking at a fancy, set up at an audio show All the cabling will have that netting over it. So to a noob, it may make one wonder why are they doing that? Take a couple ASR Articles and one could easily make that assumption it is an audio tweak.
Unless, you are just pulling our chains, I think that what you are referring to is the soft plastic "netting" that is on there not for audio reasons but, is there only for the protection of the connectors during shipping and handling. They are to be removed when the cable is in use.
