Do Coat Hangers Sound As Good Monster Cables?

Post by War Machine »

Nice little experiment where they changed monster cables with coat hangers to see if the subjects spotted which one was which by listening to some music. Suffice to say almost everyone failed to guess which was the monster cable even though they had a 50/50 chance of getting it right out of pure luck.

Finally some proof that thick, gold composite cables account for no significant difference in signal quality.

That's just great.

I love it when self-jerking audiophiles get spat on the face.
