A fresh approach to cable analysis

Your idea is flawed because it would be financially impossible to spend thousands and thousands on high end cables that you then dissect and basically destroy in order to make YouTube videos to show how the cables are constructed. A YouTube channel that does this would not be getting millions of views, most people don't know or care about high end cables, it's a very niche audience.

Maybe this person is super rich and can afford to light cash on fire, in that case it's great and I would be curious to see, but I would be one of his few subscribers.

@fpomposo I don’t see it as a flaw as much as a challenge. for instance, there might be ways to non-invasively capture images of the construction of a cable, or it might be possible to dissect one end and then simply cut that part off and reterminate the cable. Perhaps funding sources could be found or maybe some cable manufacturers would even submit samples for review. Hard to say without trying if it were easy, someone would’ve already done it but if you want to be present in the YouTube marketplace with a unique product, I think it’s worth a little work and just might pay off.

it is a fascinating aspect of high-end cables that the manufacturer can make all kinds of promises and sell you something that they know you will be afraid to open up and actually inspect. What if a cable with a supposed double helix design in fact was just a piece of straight wire. How would you ever know?

Early humans created gods to explain natural phenomena they did not understand (like thunder, seasons, or disease). Psychological theories also suggest that the human brain evolved to seek patterns and authority figures, leading to the invention of deities to provide comfort, hope, and a sense of existential purpose. This was the basis of the development of Christianity which has no basis in science.

As a parallel, AudioQuest was created in 1980 and has gone about explaining some of the natural phenomena of cables that are rooted in science. Such as resistance, inductance, and capacitance. Also, material purity and signal shielding as others have pointed out here. Not all cables are the same due to the differences mentioned that can be measured via an oscilloscope or other scientific means. In contrast, there is no white paper on God, or photo, nor even a spec sheet. Why would you believe in something that has no proof of actually being real, yet struggle with a physical component that has scientific properties?

AudioQuest is one of many companies that specialize in cables and they do so quite successfully at around the tune of $25 million per year, which apparently, suits a lot of ears.

Not sure how much Christianity brings in a year, but pastor Joel Osteen is worth $100 million, so while he is not selling cables, he is selling something that is far more worthy of his time. Faith! You can find him on YouTube if you want to hear his arguments on the belief that there is a higher god. Not sure what he would tell you about audio cables, but...

In his Texas megachurch, Joel Osteen uses a line array of speakers (JBL VTX Series), utilizes Crown for his amps, Speakon cables, and he even uses DSP from BSS Audio! He is both a believer of God and high-end cables!! Holy moses!

Unfortunately, this might be too expensive to do. 
imagine cutting open a Transparent Cable (did I say transparent?)

There’s a left and right cable on the operating room table. It’s the Super Duper Crystal Clear top of the line. Dr. Good dissects the Lt, Dr. Wright dissects the Rt. 
Or, let’s say that Pillium sent the operating room their Special Fairy Dusted, Meditation Mountain Diamond Plated…

 Dr. good takes note of a dark colored solder, Dr. Wright notes light colored solder. 
the crimp is loose on Lt. cable. 
Dr. Wright notes 60 strands of Nordost micro wires and Dr. Good notes 58 strands on the same model….

 I think we’d be better off listening to Chuck…too much monkey biz nesss.

That's reality.

The reality is that you are well into your 70's and have trouble hearing. How could you hear a difference in a cable when you started with hearing aids 6 years ago and before that, you likely were hearing impaired for quite some time. 

All audiophiles ask is that one listens for what others hear. For those that have trouble doing that, you should first provide a disclaimer of your disability and check your own reality before condemning others by hearing something you do not.
