DIY "HiFi" cables - and why I don't trust BJC and the likes
An interesting vid on making your own interconnect from PS Audio. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_jkLCyJFPo  
A challenge to the "measurement" camp
Can someone interpret what the pigs (3) are saying?  I've never known what pig wrestling is like but this is close.:-) 
A challenge to the "measurement" camp
A good example is measuring amplifier THD. Amps with feedback tend to measure better vs. amps with no overall feedback, but we all know which ones sound better.What happens is amps with feedback tend to have higher order distortion and our ears ar...

Not everything that matters can be measured, and not everything that is measured matters. I am sure there are people in this thread will try to argue with this.  I mean there's guy on another thread thinks he can tell which is a better cable by...

^!^ Actually it's already been done in the form of Active DSP speakers, but it's a step backward in term of sound quality.  So you can't have both.(You would still need two power cords - one for left and one for right speaker).

^^^ How do send wireless info from the amp to the speakers?

A lot of studios record everything in digital and use that as their master tape (or disc) because it's easy for mixing in digital.  But that makes sense because they can afford top notched ADC (so it's not like some cheap ADC found in the garden v...

Skin effect increases the resistance of a typical speaker by about 0.o1 Ohms at 20 kHz, something that can be calculated from any E&M textbook used in master's degree level courses. In series with speakers with DC resistance of 4 Ohms the ro... 
Who says cables don't make a difference?

It interesting the username who demanded measurements has/have absolutely no background in engineering and got exposed lols.

MC has missed my point completely ... sigh ....  I am not trying to compare DIY vs. commercial cables.  I posted the vid to show that I suspect a lot of online audio cable companies basically are nothing more than DIY cable albeit a bit fancy in t... 
A challenge to the "measurement" camp
Is there something I’m missingActual engineering?  Is that good enough English for you?  Only two words that are worth more than all you know lols.

In the first place I never said USB cables create noise. RF noise can leach in through connectors. Actually you could be/might be/possibly be right about cable creating distortion. The trick is trying to explain it why? What is it in the cable tha...
