My favorite part about every power cable photo like this, is knowing that right inside the wall it's just normal cheap romex wiring all the way to the breaker box, and then cheap aluminum wiring all the way down the power lines.
What am I seing in this picture?
A very expensive power cord setup for audiophiles... it's snake ~~blood~~ oil basically.
It definitely looks like a snake
My thoughts as well... like a python of some sort, lol.
Snake blood, upgraded version of snake oil ?
Yeah, snake oil 😂. Not a native English speaker, forgot the term 😂.
Fascinating
I think the theory is that the power cable creates a magnetic field around it that could interfere with the ultra precise electronics and what we are looking at is shielding for it. It could be complete bullsh but there is scientific reasoning behind it. It's for people who pay premium to reach that final 5% and I have some weird kind of respect for such passion. When you are paying north of tens of thousands of dollars for a system, the expensive cable is the least of your problems.
That can't be said for people who pay several thousand dollars for a premium hdmi cable that is supposed to 4k-ify a full hd signal. That what constitutes as snake oil in my mind.
It's complete bullshit cuz that field doesn't interact with the already shielded signal cables. You can also have the speaker cables shielded if you think that field with interfere with a signal that large.
In any case, even if it does interfere, you can't hear the interference, I guarantee you that. No human can, and this has been proven on multiple blind listening tests, yet these things still sell 🤷. Sheep will be sheep.
What's wrong with your dog
Here's a good article on the nonsense that is "ultra-high-end power cords".
that's not gunna make a good seal
