$10k Ethernet Cables for true AUDIO!


Recommended Posts

For true networking it is time we follow the advice from Monster and buy gold plated or silver plated Ethernet cables in case the 1s and 0s in the packets get caught in bends. It is soo fast it will transmit data and change the laws of physics and make better sound quality off bad speakers if you plug it into a NAS or router. What do you guys think?

This is the perfect gift for someone who wipes their butt with $100 bills, just because they can.

 

Actually you know the toilet paper that is in Kleenex like outlets in the toilets in luxury hotels?

 

I always wanted to wipe my ass with $100 with this as a dispenser if I ever won the lottery. As messed up as this sounds

I bought 10 of these and my datacenter throughput SKYROCKETED and I never have any file server issues, data loss, and also I have 10 hot guys make me gourmet food every meal and I got a free bentley!

Wiping with $100 bills is not very comfortable, especially new ones, they're not very soft at all............

Great marketing, sell something totally outrageous so it gets picked up in the news.

 

Then get loads of traffic to your site and boost your search engine page ranking, all for free.

wouldn't this really be an issue when it comes to the ability of a material matter to transmit a signal or conduct a signal that is of electrical properties?

 

doesn't gold conduct a signal better than steel or metal and don't we use silver in CPU's due to the abilities to conduct the signals of the unit?

 

I'm not of ANY scientific background but water also conducts eletricity/signal as well.

 

???????

Have you tried it? It's 75% cotton/25% linen. I would imagine it would feel pretty good if you hold Independence Hall and wipe with Franklin.

Well wouldn't you know I was holding it wrong, much better now.  Thanks!

True audiophiles submerge all their audio equipment in a single water tank. $10,000 ethernet cables are for wannabes.

I know, right? Canadian bills are plastic!

 

And we get the polymer from Australia, but banknotes like these have been around on & off since the 1980s, it's only recently that we got them here in Canada!

This is geared towards audiophiles. They're used to buying super expensive stuff for the 'best sound quality possible'.

True Audiophiles know this makes no difference. True audiophiles are analogue all the way man!

This phase of using gold and silver connectors started decades ago with anolog signals. Yes slightly less conducise metals would degrade the sound waves via resistance. Some would pick up interference and buzz (noise) from other cables near bye and act like an antenna.

 

Here is the kicker? In lab tests under precise equipment you can see differences in waves. The human ear can not distinguish. So rich Hollywood yuppies liked to show off how snobby and rich they were from buying them not realizing it would make no difference in the old days.

 

Fastward today with digial ... It is either a 0 or a 1! No loss. The 1s and 0s hit the target or they don't. No gradual loss at all.

 

BestBuy should have been fined by the FTC for the illegal Monster HDMI cables. They got $10 cables sprinkled gold paint and sold them for $100 with a TV with a fake fuzzy picture and LIED to the public who still remembered analog 1960s cable connectors which were analog.

 

So no Ethernet is digital and they are committing fraud by having arrows for signal directions. That is not how Ethernet works! There are 5 connections and they are all digital and bi-directional.

Incorrect, true 'audiophiles' (god I hate that word) would never spend that kind of money as solid gold core cables are cheaper :p

Was your datacenter able to answer the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything using those cables?

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
