JREF puts audiophile cables to the test again...

...and once again opens a huge can of worms. Could be fun, though.

An "audiophile" data cable?

The list of things of which I have heard now includes everything.

Not just any can of worms. These are super genetically modified audiophile worms. For the modest price of $12,000 you can have the best sounding worms on the planet. Place them around your house and they will reduce ground currents - you'll notice the noise reduction in your electronics within 2 weeks.

There's a well-known Aussie Rules football commentator who used to call low, ground-skimming kicks worm burners. Great term.

Just shaking my head. I s'pose folks who've got the dough to blow will find a way to flush it down somehow.

Ah yes, the audiophile data cable! You see, those 1's and 0's go through the cable so fast, nearly the speed of light, that when the cable has a bend in it, Einstein's relativistic effects kick in, and you start seeing the other side of the 1 before it even gets where it's going. In those cases, the computer often interprets a 1 as a 2. Many digital computers cannot process a 2 without resorting to the slower, analog co-processor. This gets the ones and zeroes out of order, being analog and all, and pretty soon you have a whole data train-wreck in the busses.

Audiophile cables grease the pipeline a little, so that those ones never twist around sideways, causing the computer to think they're 2s. If you add the magnetic brick that sits on top of your cables, it will support the data flow through the pipeline, allowing the data train to enter the bus and go around the block, turning right at all corners without having to wait on a left-turn signal from the CPU, which is already busy enough trying to figure out those 2's.

And if you're still reading this, I'll have to refer you to our technicians for the mountains of data-testing data that prove your audio will sound way better with an audiophile data cable, because I'm running low on bull-merde at the moment. DON'T TRUST YOUR EARS! Have you ever known a human with ears you can trust? I mean really, really TRUST??? This is the kind of extremely high-audiophile stuff that requires specially designed testers to realize just what's happening. In fact, we're the only company that has them. Yes, when you see the Audio-Snake logo, you know you're in rarified waters! (which you can buy in bottles in our gift shop!)

Not to mention the "customers also viewed" section. Uranium ore, and "outlook for wooden toilet seats in China".

As long as those cables are vegan, organic, non-GMO, cruelty-free, all natural, no MSG, dolphin safe and free trade, I'm in!

Those Haribo reviews are hilarious! I was at the hardware store the other day and someone in front of me in line was buying a couple of bags of Haribo candy and you kind of want to say something to them, but what would you say? Hard to summarize all those reviews in line at Ace Hardware!
