Only you expensive cable owners, is this real?

I’m starting to get a bad feeling.

Hilarious that some people consider outstanding high end companies like Mapleshade and PWB Electronics fringe. Give me a break! A rich audiophile has about as much chance of getting into Audio Nirvana as a camel has of passing through the eye of a needle.

Lizzie, as the reigning theoretical physicist here I think I can safely say what you call fringe is just plain ordinary physics albeit physics that wasn’t in your McGuffey Reader. Besides, I thought you were on board Enid Lumley’s stuff. What’s the matter, it kind of looks like discrimination.

Thank you, wiseguy.

Ethan Winer. Haven’t heard that name in a while. Is he out of rehab?

I guess the definition of “odder stuff” varies from individual to individual. 😆 if I’m not mistaken both Cream Electret and Silver Rainbow Foil from PWB (Peter Belt) in Leeds are on Stereophile’s Recommended Components list. Some folks never get out of the house. Two of my most successful and effective products TT and CLC oft times make people’s head explode just seeing the name. See how they run!

Actually the really good Mapleshade interconnect cables have a conductor that’s only 54 gauge copper. I just saw that someone mentioned the Omega Mikro a little while back. One assumes that’s not the one you based your cables on. One also assumes you would probably call that Mapleshade cable snake oil or moon dust since 54 ga is about the diameter of a human hair.

While someone is compiling ing desired attributes of cables he might consider purity of the metal, silver vs copper, the influence of adding gold to the metal, the thickness of the conductor, stranded vs solid core, the design of the dielectric and directionality of the conductor.
