Y'all got that right. This is snake-oil at it's finest.


This is a problem for people who don't have much experience of hifi;
distilling the truth from the sea of snake-oil it swims in... I mean,
of course if you use badly shielded cable I guess it'll pick up some
mains hum/RF interference: but working out what expensive
interconnects, or speaker stands, are meant to do is distinctly
non-trivial :/


You don't have to work out what they're meant to do, just listen to them
in a double-blind test. If you can't tell the difference blindfold,
there's little point in shelling out huge dough. The emperor really has
no clothes.
