For most of us, including many hard-core audiophiles, sound is subjective. We’re usually much more concerned with what is playing (“turn that noise off”!), rather than the esoteric specs of how it’s being transmitted in the pristine audio atmosphere of our cramped one bedroom apartment. And yet, every time we go to the electronics store we’re confronted with the Great Cable Up Sell – “24 Carat Gold fittings, with Platinum twist ties, and shielding expressly configured for your zip code and humidity”. Wondering if there’s really a difference in cables? Well, so did a group of nerds.
