To All Cable Deniers, 1 Very Simple Question.


There are people coming into cable threads and saying all cables sound identical. So I have 1 question for y'all.

Today, it is about power cords.

The end-plug, the metal part, the one you plug into the wall outlet. Without knowing the % of copper in the plug of your basic cable, can you absolutely certain say it sounds identical to a plug with 98% copper?

How about 60% copper plug vs 98% copper? Identical?

40% copper, Identical?

20% copper, Identical?

0% copper, Identical?

To wrap up, the question is very simple. If the copper % is different, would the 2 plugs still sound the same?

A bonus question, if a plug is 60% gold, will it sound identical vs a 98% copper?

So rather than use your inability to hear as a cudgel against those who can, you might consider learning to listen better. It will be very rewarding if you can accomplish that.

@bigtwin Well that’s exactly what I had!!! Precisely what you described including asthma complications and the darn cough still persists. I was on prednisone inhaler. This thing sucked! I’m 3 weeks in and lungs are just starting to get back to normal.

Hope you recover and stay healthy the rest of the winter. 

Re-hashes of this age old argument rarely move the conversation forward, and in my view, the introduction of dueling AI answers make them even worse.
