Holy hell...

I would rather believe that this is a spoof, otherwise it's a bit unsettling. The video in particular is a fresh take on "unhinged" - all eighty minutes of it! Not to mention, if you watch closely near the beginning, you'll see a slide for a TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR AC CORD. Come on, man...

Real or parody, these guys might want to consider dialing back on the mushrooms for awhile - wow.

it gets better later on in that thread --
That reactance at 60Hz of the cable's inductance and capacitance must be really high! I'll have to calculate that some day.

Phew. Glad we only have 50Hz here.... Saves me converting to DC...

High end computers can actually pull enough current to cause voltage drop. See Jonnyguru's PSU reviews.
But ultimately a 13A cable will be able to handle 13A

Saw a review of a high powered amp the claimed to deliver noticeable more power to load than the input power. Must have been topping up with zero point energy..... 😀

but these guys are serious ACC 169 Articulation Control Console | MIT Cables
A cable with knobs to adjust the 'energy'.

I think they have a new meaning for D/A - where the a is "Aqua" :
"The unique enclosure is designed to allow the large Music Hose®"

This bit in particular (and remember we're talking about a speaker cable here):

"The stylish CNC milled solid billet aluminum enclosure used for the ACC 268 is the largest MIT has ever produced."

Well, duh! Everyone knows when it comes to speaker cable articulation control consoles, size does matter.

I wish the real M.I.T. could sue these guys.

Notice the trademark, I'll bet they never tried to enforce it in certain places. 😀

This stuff is too much to stomach, all the nonsense about preserving pitch as if there is passive pitch-shifting. Another good trick with a passive box...

At the same time it is storing and delivering reserve power to the driver complement, whenever additional energy is required by the audio signal.

Sad too that Bruce Brisson, like very few, probably has made serious money from this BS.

A thousand man hours in development, each ACC
interface includes a unique “dashboard” (to present
the control knobs), requiring more than 100 additional
circuits compared to prior MIT interfaces.

Discreet articulation control is now possible over
three sections of the bandwidth, allowing the listener
to adjust for challenging room conditions, equipment
changes and (sometimes) software choices.

To the left of the three Articulation control knobs
is a fourth switch. With this control, the listener can
choose to activate or disable the 2C3D circuitry
with a simple “on-off” selector.
Enabling the 2C3D switch allows more power to be delivered to the
Multipole circuitry to produce or “throw” more energy
into the room, furthering the “suspension of disbelief”.

That is, the listener is more likely to believe
that a live performance is within the same air space.
This effect occurs when the additional energy couples
with the physical body of the listener. We call
this a “visceral” response to an audio event!

So what's in this box, anybody know ?.
