Here are some tips for aspiring cable non-believers:
1. Original Post subject must contain at least 1 exclamation mark...preferably more.
It think $20000 demands the use of the exclamation, maybe a few!!!! (see that?)
2. For power cable posts, A comparison to an ordinary kettle lead is desirable but not essential.
In much the same way one might compare one spoon to another?
3. Any cable disbelieving wannabees must race to respond to the original post as quckly as possible. Seconds is preferable, but any time within 5 minutes is deemed acceptable.
Could it be a case of right place at the right time?
4. Preferably, use no technical descriptions or words in your judgements. simple descriptions of lumped LCR parameters are permissible, but not essential.
Oh, you mean the like the cable makers claims of nano this and chaos theory that or quantum the other?
5. Use the phrase "After the hundreds of miles of cable from the power station, how can the last six feet possibly make any difference..." at least once in each thread.
Oh the irony.
6. Never...repeat, never...say that you believe that cables make a difference. Uttering such nonsense will obviously ensure you are shunned by your peers.
Why would they? It is bollocks of the first water, but some believe in fairies at the bottom of the garden. Oh, hang on..
7. Never buy anything other better than a 2 pound kettle lead for any items in your setup. We will find you if you do...
And the lampooning will begin, and rightly so.
7. A similar thread must appear again within a suitably short time, to ensure that the same non informative posts and comments can once again be trotted out.
That is actually not a bad idea, the more threads revealing the utter hilarity of this stuff, and the total and complete lack of a single test, or one piece of scientific evidence, not once, not ever reveals the whole thing to be nothing but a sham. (At least to rational human beings who do not believe in tarot, healing crystals, ghosts and magic wires)
Oh, and you have two number '7' posts, is that some kind of superstition too?
