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?

Audiofeil, I like your idea! I'd imagine the payments on a $500 cable might work out to be $628 over three years. I wonder what the residual value will be at the end of the lease? 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.
