The mind boggles on those cable shenanigans lol.
Many years ago I bought VanDamme blue thick gauge speaker cables and terminated them myself with some decent quality bananas. Think I paid about £2 a metre. They look the bees knees and are as thick as my thumb, will certainly outlast me. That's all I look for in a cable, how it is built and protected from the bends of life and stuff

That is surely aimed at Russ Andrews customers and personally I think it's high time Russ Andrews had a worthy competitorhttps://www.russandrews.com/search/?name=fuse
Russ Andres price is significantly cheaper and if this means the huge benefits of changing a fuse to one of these audible delights is brought to a wider audience it can only be good news

Did you read the FAQ on that? Directional fuses? Burn-in period?? Have they not heard of AC??? Well at least it's a change from directional speaker cable...I've been ripping my CD collection, and some of the ones that lived in various cars are pretty battered.
Green own was useless (surprise!), but polishing the pits and dents with toothpaste recovered mist of them
I didn't test which brand toothpaste was best - clearly a marketing opportunity for someone less scrupulous than me.

Well at least it's a change from directional speaker cable...I think that the problem is that from a scientific point of view, one could argue that a lot of the principles of all these audio snake oils ring true. However, the effects must be so infinitesimally small as to be impossible to actually discern with the human ear. Even moreso when you consider the market for high end audio is mainly middle aged men, whose hearing has considerably degraded since their youth.
It's like twin probe platinum spark plugs. I'm sure they do create a cleaner, more powerful spark. But I call absolute b
ks that they can consistently be identified as installed in double-blind tests.

Love the quote"Today physicists understand electrons don't flow at all"
and
"to understand how electricity travels without electrons ever leaving their respective atoms"
Well, bugger me, not only is electrical transmission theory out of the window, doping silicon in PN junctions can't work either !
That reminds me, must remember to buy some unicorn tears for my left handed dishwasher.

I think that's different. A better spark plug is more likely to give clean combustion even under sub-optimal conditions, so in an ideal world you shouldn't notice the difference. It's in conditions when you might have weak spark or no spark at all with a fouled standard plug where you might not realise the difference they are making because the engine runs normally when with cheaper plugs, it might not.ks that they can consistently be identified as installed in double-blind tests.tactical lizard said:
