Mystic Fred... what stuff? Budget hi-fi - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Of course, call me when you'll have 1 billion of euros of budget!

It's "musical", so the power doesn't just oscillate 50 or 60 times a second, it does it whilst whistling a tune

but can it convert AC/DC into worthwhile music?

Funny. No it's not a thick cable. My new Wireworld is thick, a double 4mm2.

You can upgrade the inner cable as well, like you can re-wire your speaker. There's no limit in optimization.

The problem for me is that electric circuits are like chains, and they are only as strong as their weakest link. So making one of the links 100x stronger is futile if there's only one weak link.

But these cables and plugs look great!

That point isn't entirely true. This isn't true for chains but, you can make a circuit stronger and more capable as a whole by increasing the capacity of a 'link'. In industrial applications we sometimes have to use a conductor size larger than normal for a very long run. This is accomplished by upsizing the conductor in the middle long portion of the run but leaving the line end and the load end at normal size.

I don't know if power/speaker/interconnect cables would make a significant audio change or not. I'm no where near worrying about that! (I have mismatched tweeters atm....) I'm just saying that it is certainly within the realm of possibility because electrical circuits are not physical chains where the weakest link is not affected by the other links. They are rather dynamic things where each link does indeed affect the other links.

The Supra cables are really affordable.
