A new cable review is coming from 6moons.
6moons audioreviews: Absolue Créations upscale loom
"AFCEM stands for EMF suppression where the movement of a speaker membrane sends a reverse current to the amplifier which acts as a brake on the timing and amplitude of the signal. Our invention controls this physical phenomenon to isolate the original forward current. ARC or anti return current is exactly the same principle but developed by taking into account the currents and impedances between line-level components. It is because of these technologies that our cables shouldn't be crossed. It also explains why one must respect the connection and allow it a little time to settle in. Our concentrator operates as polarization without an internal battery. It catalyzes and channels the electrical energy and has the advantage of free surface radiation without shielding. The double-flux concentrator appears in two places at once and is a mixed technology of the same principle. Whilst we really can't divulge more, all our principles of assembly and construction were developed by us over many years of careful studies. We use several types of stranded copper alloy starting with tinned copper in our low end. The IN-TIM range gets silver plating to control oxidation of the copper which is a poor conductor. Our strands are ~0.18mm, then braided to reach a 0.7mm Ø. Our conductors are exclusive to Absolue and sourced in small production runs from a domestic sub contractor. We process our cables individually for their insulation and length, pair and precisely braid them, sheath them in cotton, terminate, dress, test them and run them in." About the recurring three letters, "TIM doesn't really mean anything."
 
Yes, inside studioland(tm) an audiophoolville(tm) they write about 'technical earth' (whatever it may mean on that day), but these experts are writing about something else.

Violent agreement. When you are running a Synchrotron with huge currents You need to look at return paths VERY carefully. But in a domestic audio environment or a studio is there ever a justification for bolting a large slab of copper to the wall and hooking all your electronics to it? I think no, or if yes there are better and easier ways to fix the problem. But happy to be proved wrong (where proof is not the wife in kitchen or Axl) 🙂
 
Maybe this new cable has negative resistance?

Or could it be that it simply does what any low resistance speaker cable does: it allows the amp and speaker to 'see' each other just as they are supposed to? Remember, if you describe what any competent product of that type will do but in sufficiently fancy language then some poor souls will conclude that only your product does this amazing thing and will queue up to give you their money.
 
Wiser audiophiles only use polyacetylene as a conductor so that the charge carriers are spinless. Spin is a form of magnetism, and the elimination of magnetic effects imparts a sense of clarity and detail to the intertwined musical lines of complex arrangements. The dynamic range extends downward seemingly forever instead of hitting a floor of magnetic hash and noise.

..now i am listening! 😀
 
Just joshing with you, hence the face🙂
Though I must agree directional arrows are a mute point when different connectors are involved, which brings us to the point do the arrows always point the correct way, whotever that may be for USB. I'd do suspect it is bi-directional, maybe the music data has to follow the flow of the arrows...
 
They've been required by law here for years in any space where standing water may occur.

We are talking about whole house gfi , not individual outlet. I doubt these have been required for a long time. And these are the only ones that would stop the ground rod leakage Ive been talking about. I'm not rewriting past posts. No one has proved my point wrong, and those that have tried are confused about my point.

My last post on the subject. From Wikipedia

Separating low signal ground from a noisy ground
In television stations, recording studios, and other installations where signal quality is critical, a special signal ground known as a "technical ground" (or "technical earth", "special earth", and "audio earth") is often installed, to prevent ground loops. This is basically the same thing as an AC power ground, but no general appliance ground wires are allowed any connection to it, as they may carry electrical interference. For example only audio equipment is connected to the technical ground in a recording studio.[8] In most cases, the studio's metal equipment racks are all joined together with heavy copper cables (or flattened copper tubing or busbars) and similar connections are made to the technical ground. Great care is taken that no general chassis grounded appliances are placed on the racks, as a single AC ground connection to the technical ground will destroy its effectiveness. For particularly demanding applications, the main technical ground may consist of a heavy copper pipe, if necessary fitted by drilling through several concrete floors, such that all technical grounds may be connected by the shortest possible path to a grounding rod in the basement.
 
So you are advocating removing all the PE connections from the audio equipment and hooking new PE connections to the new earth? Real biatch if you need to remove something from a rack.

How is that any better than running a dedicated spur from the consumer unit?
