Audio Signal Run Through a Banana

This article has been around a while but I thought it was pretty funny.  Running signal through mud, bananas, common wire, etc. in a blind listening test. 

I have expensive cables. I'm still not sure I have gotten value for my outlay. For sure not big value-  at least not like the radical change in my rig when I added Wilsons.

Make sure you use an un-ripe, green banana. The top end will sound a little too 'soft' when it gets ripe.

If it turned out that green bananas really did sound better I guess I could get along with that. I like bananas so I'd just have to plug in new cables as the old cables ripened, and then eat the old cables. The problem is that by the time you burn in a cable it's probably getting fairly ripe. I wonder how burned in bananas taste?

Burned in cables taste like Bananas Foster.
