hifi Delusion at it's greatest?

I've skipped to the end of this thread but are people really plugging expensive power cables into the wall socket that is then connected to 15p per metre twin and earth..

My post # 125 explains why better power cables benefit.

Why don't any of my EM test instruments come with these wonder cables...

Maybe your EM test equipment is designed to counter the EMI.

Apparently what happens, is the EMI can travel into the source side of an amplifier from the mains cable.

To save me going through that, which page tells me the answer (I'm browsing on a phone).

Surely as that mentions transmission lines, that's more about the very high voltage lines, not the low voltage one coming into your house?

Which 5G blocker are you running?

...however if your in a studio there might be 20 interconnects....

It's rare to see RCA's being used in studios unless gear necessitates it.

...more contributing to the recording..

I'm not sure what that has to do with induced interference in cabling which can occur at any point but sure ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Either way, i wouldn't being comparing it to "studios" as it's not typically what you would see nor how they would go about it, ie - silver plated cabling, expensive IEC's or RCA's.

But if you're happy with what you've got and doing, then that is all that matters...

Cheap studio monitors, messing around with unnecessary cables and talking about not needing a sub when the speakers have a frequency range down to 55Hz only.

yup

I demonstrated in this thread that background noise is less from the Van Damme cable, I wanted to show that different interconnect cables do effect sound quality and I did this.

Those Prodipe speakers can be purchased cheap, but there not poor quality, they have a relativity flat response curve, the dual amplifiers have low THD, main driver is fibre glass and cabinet is good construction to eliminate vibration. There better quality then Edifiers people typically recommend on here, yes I have a sub but choosing not to use it.

The Van Damme Silver cables I also run on far more expensive HiFi system in my front room, they make the same improvement on that system.

EMF and problems in mains do effect audio performance. The Tacmia mains filters reduce spikes and remove DC on the mains that can be injected from other devices such as lighting transformers.

It's amazing that some people post on things they have never even tried for themselves.

Whats the far more expensive hifi consist of?

Sony all in one system.

Rockport speakers apparently use Transparent cables internally:
