‘Black Pearl solid silver conductors drawn in diamond coated dies and insulated with virgin FEP dielectric’ doesn’t help.

    You haven’t gone far enough down the rabbit hole then. Good, keep it that way.

    I’ve seen some wild takes that get propped up by some snake oil lovers like “breaking in” their cables for a few hundred hours before they sound ideal. The rabbit hole goes deep

      Hahah yeah, the breaking in thing is also ridiculous.

      It may (arguably) make some sense for speakers and headphones, since they actually have moving parts, but I’ve recently read a review for a portable digital audio player that the reviewer felt the need to “break in” before testing. ???

        I thought the breaking in thing was for amps (specifically tube amps).

        I’ve never heard it being used for cables, is that a real thing people do?
