well obviously, all this proves is that copper wires are just as bad as wet mud. Every audiophile knows you need gold oxygen nitrogen purified wires blessed by a voodoo witch doctor.

    Sheeeit not recently, shot up to $120/oz recently, and it's back down to ~$80/oz right now, but that's still more than ~$35/oz last year. Not that gold didn't also follow that trajectory or anything, it's still more, but GODDAMN.
