Do Cables Wear Out?


A fellow Hi - Fi friend was explaining particle breakdown in cables after years of use and loud rock use will bring demise sooner. Anyone have knowledge of this?

Word has it there's a little known subset of Audiophile Opus Dei. They self-flagellate with power cord cat-o-nine tails. Lordy.
Yioryos, this thread is more entertaining than the film...and even that's a stretch. There were a few times during Da Vinci Code when I thought a good self-flagellation might have snapped me out of my stupor.

Mission Impossible III was a fun ride, though.

:)
At least excessive wear you mention would be covered under warranty, heheh.

EWAT= Electron Wear and Tear?

An entirely new audiophile accessory: Electron Wear-O-Meter (there aren't nearly enough " -O-Meter" devices anymore).

Tvad, would this be like checking to see if you can still see the top of Abe Lincoln or FDR's head?
Dunno. Does that involve mirrors and lasers?

I'd have a marginally witty response if I knew what the heck you were talking about.

Tvad, using a penny or dime is how old timers determined if it was time to buy a new set of tires. If you could see the top of the President's head you have enough tread left. If not, time to fork out the dough!
Ah, of course...I should have known it was a car reference. :)

The Electron-O-Meter would be a precision device utilizing milspec knarkle valves, and it would come in it's own faux alligator, snap-close, Naugahyde carrying pouch.

We could emboss the image of a penny on the pouch.
