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.

 

 

Copper wire can be exelent vs silver and much cheaper if  it is deep frozen.
