$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?

    • Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta today announced a new line of Meta Glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The new AI glasses build on the company’s existing smart glasses portfolio, which is sold under the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta brands. The new Meta Glasses start at just $299, are compatible with prescription lenses, and will be available in 26 styles across different colors, lenses, and frames. At launch, Meta Glasses will be available in three frame styles. The Meta Adventurer features a clean rectangular design and comes in Standard and Large sizes. The Meta Fury is a bolder frame for users who want a stronger look. Meta Glasses by Kylie is a slim oval frame designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner. Similar to existing Meta AI Glasses, the new Meta Glasses include a dedicated action button that can be used to quickly access Meta AI or launch a favorite feature. They also feature open-ear speakers for calls, music, and more. Meta has also included a multi-mic array with wind noise reduction for calls and messaging. Users can capture photos and videos hands-free using voice commands. Meta claims more than eight hours of battery life, while the portable charging case can provide up to 40 additional hours. As expected, Meta Glasses come pre-loaded with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark from day one. Muse Spark is the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs with improved multimodal capabilities. The same Meta AI upgrade is also now available on existing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta Glasses in the US and Canada via an update. With the Muse Spark-powered AI assistant, Meta AI in the new glasses can provide smarter answers, understand what the user is seeing, and help with daily tasks such as calendar management and navigation. Meta also announced an upcoming feature called the dynamic photo feature, which captures multiple frames and recommends the best one. Pedestrian navigation is also coming soon to these glasses. Meta is also adding support for 14 new live translation languages, including Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Korean. The new Meta Glasses are available starting today through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and select retailers.
    • is that a personal preference? whether it is or isn't, i get where you're coming from. i try to get and use fully open sourced applications whenever i can but there are instances where i find a superior product that is closed sourced. in these cases i do my best to learn about the company, who operates it, their background, parent and sub structure etc. to some extent, depending on "the smell test". i really believe that Syncback is really and truly something great. even if you don't use it, it's always worth a recommendation to someone else, especially if that someone else is not very computer literate. for someone of your calibre you, you'll manage just fine with Syncthing, no doubt about it.
    • I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.
