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.

I am 69 and holding and I still can easily tell the difference between those throw away RCA cables that used to come with CD players .  But it’s getting harder and harder to hear the difference between speaker cables and power cables. I can hear the difference between zip cord and and some speaker cables, but once you get to a certain level, I can’t and the same goes for power cables. I can hear the difference between zip cord and an $200 Audience F3 power cord, but give me a 2K cord and a 5K cord…

Ya know…it just occurred to me, if they can make a coconut telegraph….
