Oh god. Cardas will probably be coming out with a "compacted center" audio cable now. The perfect cable for those with compacted bowels. 😛

Cheers Scott, I know there are differences but how often are we going to reach the limits in normal domestic situations (or even in moderate sized commercial buildings)... I did put up some differences in losses between solid and stranded, stranded having higher losses at higher frequencies.
I maybe should have qualified my comment by saying at normal domestic cable lengths we wont notice a difference IMO.😉
Same with OCC copper.
Take something designed to implement nanocircuitry, and claim it makes for a sonically better 22 AWG wire.
Are you implying karma can't see one, who needlessly imposes hardship on the poor electrons carrying an audio signal, by forcing them to traverse myriads of boundaries in polycrystalline copper conductors?
😡
Its the TEM waves I worry about, the forgotten poor relative of signal propagation that even top class physicist such as J Bybee ignore as they speed those electrons through the wire!

I think the humor went right over your head. Maybe a bad joke. 🙂 What makes a difference in digital video does not usually make a difference in analog audio.
50-100 feet. Although the specs say that stranded should be fine for HD video over those lengths, in practice it often does not work. 🙁 I sure wish it did, the solid core cable is a royal PITA.
Yes I did some CATV/telephone installation for a while when it was new to the UK (paid by job and in the early days good money could be made initially), solid core does not like bending and when your messing with RG11 and bigger it can be fun.
Must look into this more with HDMI as I am thinking of putting up a projector and will require a 10m run at a guess...

SOtM sMS-1000SQ | AudioStream gotta love this.
A music server, with 'audio grade USB3.0 outputs' but a linear power supply. has a lower noise floor than just using your/ generic server.

LOL it's just a basic mini ITX board in a case with some software, and for 3k$ OUCH!!! You don't need a super fast computer to play high resolution files.
Look at the Raspberry Pie-2 it does it all for 77$
That doesn't fall into the snake oil category, overpriced yes, but i dont see it as snake oil.
What constitutes "audio grade", besides "shiny"?
I'm contemplating putting my 3000 CDs into a computer; this is a problem, as my phone is the closest I've come to owning a computer.
So far my best plan is to go to a mom and pop computer store, tell their wonder kids what I'm after, and let them build one for me.
There are so many options out there it's not even funny 🙂
here is an example of what i just did for a friend.
Raspberry Pie-2 & lucid Labs dad, with Moode player on it, Installed the app on his phone.
Bought a Western Digital Nas box with 4 x 2tb drives in raid 10 ( one fails it will auto rebuild and save data.
Then configured the Pie player to read all music from it, so far HE LOVES it so simple to use and run..
You are still going to need a CDROM drive to rip the CD's. But yeah, some sort of NAS appliance is probably where you want to go.
Something that snakeoil dealers can use:

It's also awesome trying to think about it.

So you say all cars are the same as they all take you from A to B.
That is the true HiFi spirit... 🙄
Congratulations for the most inapt analogy of the day. Of course, it's still early... 😀
Then the size of your wave guides matters. There are some colorful analogies in there some where so to speak.
