S02E05: Cable Clowns, or Wizards‪?‬ 3 Sad Bastards

    • Hobbies

If there’s one aspect of audio hifi that divides the audio world it’s cables! If you believe that cables make a difference, are you a hifi wizard, or a cable clown?

Are speaker, interconnect, USB, Ethernet and power cables the hidden secret sauce to making a hifi system go to the next level or is it just a load of snake-oil that you rub on to alleviate the sting of how much you’ve spent?

Listen in as two of the Sad Bastards goad each other with their fact based approach (i.e. unsubstantiated ambit claims) and almost come to fisty-cuffs. In fact SB3 had to tie SB2 and SB1 virtually up with the (inferior) kettle-cord that came with his amplifier to keep the show moving along.
