Review: Mad Scientist White Magic Interconnects


Allowing the full burn in to complete with my new AC power cord, then I'll remove the previous Mad Scientist's Black magic and install the new Mad Scientist White Magic Interconnects. Could there be an improvement? Not holding my breath. But I read about the new super secret material being used and read a crazy impressed review so, I had to know! Tomorrow I'm putting them in no matter what. Just want to be settled on what this new power cable has done before I move on. Curious? me too

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.

@roadcykler Not at all and blind tests are done all the time.The guys at Alpha Audio do them all the time. https://www.alpha-audio.net/hi-fi/accessories/cables/ 

Silly post too. Jesus would never tell you to eat your Gold Fish, he is a Cheez It guy.
