Some serious questions concerning audio cables

Why does lifting cables off the floor improve the sound? Why does direction of cable matter in terms of sound quality? No, I'm not referring to cables with shielding connected at one end. I'm referring to the conductor itself. Why do cables sound better when treated with anti static spray? Why does highly polishing the conductor surface improve the sound? Why does cryogenically treating cables improve the sound? Why do copper and silver cables often sound so different when they have nearly the same conductivity? |

I don't know how copper conductors are going to oxidize, one assumes the jackets containing them are air tight. |

I didn't see the word diode mentioned anywhere in that article, maybe I missed it. :-) |

Put an end to it, bring back tone controls / EQ |
I was under the assumption audiophiles often think cables ARE tone controls. Nt, posted on March 10, 2022 at 15:11:44 | |
