Review: Mad Scientist White Magic Interconnects

Should do your research before popping off. 

New Zealand regulations for electrical cords and cables fall under the Electricity (Safety) Regulations 2010 and are detailed in the AS/NZS 3000 standard. Key regulations include using RCD protection, ensuring cords are undamaged (no fraying, cracking, or exposed wires), avoiding overloading, keeping cords away from water, and using only registered electricians for electrical work. Cables must also be appropriately separated from telecommunication cables and conductive thermal insulation, and are required to be physically protected by conduits or trunking where necessary to prevent damage.  

• Keep cords away from doorways, windows, and areas where they can be stepped on or damaged by equipment. 

  Water:
• Never use electrical equipment, including extension cords, in wet or damp conditions. 
• Overloading:

  Avoid overloading outlets and extension cords. 
• Temporary Use:

  Extension cords are for temporary use only. If permanent power is needed, contact a licensed electrician to install a socket. 

•  
• Installation:

  Cords should not be run through walls, windows, or doorways. 
•  
• Buried Cables:

  Any cables buried in a roadway must be contained within protective enclosures. 
•  
• Cabling and Insulation:

  Electrical cables must be separated by a minimum of 100mm from conductive thermal insulation or mechanically protected by earthed metallic conduit, heavy-duty plastic conduit, or trunking. 
•  
• Telecommunication Cables:

  Mains power cables must be kept a minimum of 50mm away from telecommunication cables to prevent electrical interference and noise induction. 

Only registered and licenced electricians are permitted to carry out electrical work in New Zealand, including the installation of permanent wiring and sockets. 

•  
• Standards:

  .
• Cables and fittings must comply with relevant New Zealand standards, such as AS/NZS 3000. 

Shame.  So companies can sell run of the mill AC cables and interconnects, claiming they are made from "super secret materials", without the need for verification or proof of their claims with objective, repeatable tests, spewing meaningless pseudo-scientific nonsense and jargon in their ads, all to scam audiophiles who desperately want their systems to sound "better".  And in virtually all of the cases, the end buyer hears improvement because they really, really want to, not because there's any actual improvement there.

This is why the high-end audio accessory market is the laughing stock of the industry, as well as it's dirty little secret.

FACT: All any cable can do is reduce information being transported. Right? It can not add musical notes, bass punch, or sweetness to vocals. These perceived aspects are merely audible aspects either emphasized or diminished due to filtering effect of cabling design. Am I correct? These White Magic cables apparently as designed skipped the filtering parts. Reproduction is scary spontaneous and unrestrained sounding. (Obviously contingent upon the audio engineering of each disk) One always wonders what information is locked onto those silver disks. If only you could totally unlock this embedded data and hear what really was recorded in its totality? Well? With these cables I think I'm experiencing a shock introduction into that hidden world. 

@jhnnrrs If you say so....Why are you here on this thread other than to spew BS, false information?  ASR is beckoning for you.  BTW I have no horse in the race. 

Those who can do, those who can't afford to claim it is fake snake oil.

I like how if you don't believe that cables will affect the sound you're an ASR junkie. Measurements are important but so is blind testing which is something the cable makers and their customers don't want you to do because you'd realize you spent money, sometimes A LOT of money, on no difference in sound.

Saying "I know what I hear" is tantamount to a religious person saying they "heard" Jesus tell them to eat their goldfish.
