For analogue connections it does make a difference
but again, once you're past a certain threshold you would really struggle to notice the difference.

If you made up your interconnects with bell wire, then it won't sound as good as a decent copper wire wit gold plugs. But anything costing more than about 15-20 quid is just a waste.

Obviously with digital connections if it works, then it works, and above that there is no difference.

Some of the cables I've seen in places like Richer Sounds have made me choke with rage.
Like having plastic inserts in the middle of the cable, with copper wire around it. Or silver coating. Both of which would only ever make the copper less conductive.

But the topper, the absolute cherry, was seeing one HDMI cable at 60 quid (which in itself is outrageous) and then a nearly identical cable next to it for £100. The difference? The £100 cable had "3D ready" stamped on the packaging.

3D fucking ready. Unlike every other HDMI cable, of course.

In fact, with the right plugs, you could send HD signals down fucking powerflex.

Don't Google BMI's Oceanic "Statement" power cable then.
Yes, power cable. It'll give you an infarction.

Is that the power cable which prevents interference
in the same way which a transistor does?

You wait, I'm going to explain the difference
between horsepower and torque in the next thread.

i love it when you torque dirty to me, baby

I find this concept very hard to understand
Actually that's not true, torque is straightforward, power I can manage, it's really their interaction that confuses.
