The ultimate speaker cable

I have no doubt that the future of speaker cables are actual garden hoses, filled with granulated, pulverized UPOCC copper, terminated with those adjustable copper hose ends/nozzles, found screwed onto many an old garden hose.

And, depending on the length, it could approach the weight of an upright piano. We’re talkin big time damping. Cable vibration becomes a bugaboo of the past. Another plus is flexibility….no multiple strands or solid core conductors. Just copper powder. It should also have a great WAF because garden hose comes in many colors.

Oh, and, lets not forget fine tuning. One could rotate the end/nozzle making that little flow adjustment thingy engage, more or less of, the binding posts.

The possibilities are endless!!! When you get thirsty you could connect it to a water faucet or, use it to fill your pool. It might even get you a discount on your home fire insurance.

Taking it to, what would seem, the ultimate setup, instead of a wimpy box near one cable end with a little bit of cable sticking out, you could connect it to an actual, free standing, unconnected fire hydrant (your dog will love you) and run a short length of hose from it to the binding posts.

Wow, I Just realized hydrants will allow BI, Tri or even Quad wiring! The only downside is packaging. Short distance shipping can easily be accomplished via a Huey copter while long distance shipping would use a C-150 Constellation.

Well you get the picture. The future is…well…I just can’t put it into words.

Just realized dielectric properties of rubber garden hose are probably nowhere near as good as canvas hose. So, for those discerning listeners, visit your local fire department.

And buy copper futures options. This is going through the roof or… floor.
 
That's awesome!

And somewhere it's probably being prototyped.
Why not water conductor interconnects too?
Maybe some magic tint injectors for those special songs, or albums - Kind of Blue
Red House, I Can See Clearly Now, Green River, Mellow Yellow, etc.

Better check those MIT Cable guys patents -- as they already list "The unique enclosure is designed to allow the large Music Hose®"
sounds like a coppery garden variety to me.... 🙂

Personally, I'm working on my new D/A converter - digital to aqua...

The coconut audio spoof is great -- must have taken them ages to collate all that guff, but I bet it was fun!
 
I find much of this very disturbing. It's like running into a homeless person who's having a loud argument with an invisible opponent.

When that happens, there is a sense of sorrow and compassion for this unfortunate human being, mixed with dread at their current condition. Encountering someone who has become mentally ill and lost touch with reality is always disturbing.

To believe any of the garbage served up by Coconut Audio and so on, a person would have to be actually, literally, medically insane, in the sense of experiencing (auditory) hallucinations, believing total nonsense, and completely losing touch with all common sense and reason.

To my misfortune, I have been around a few people with bipolar disorder (manic depressive), and one who had been diagnosed with full-blown schizophrenia. When the illness is in control, people with those mental illnesses tend to believe in non-existent things, become hugely emotionally invested in things that appear quite inconsequential to the normal mind, make utterly nonsensical connections between totally unrelated things, and so on.

That's why even reading some of this stuff gives me the heeby-jeebies. There is a whiff of serious mental health problems in the air, and I feel the same mixture of sorrow, compassion, and dread for the afflicted.

I always thought Coconut Audio was an elaborate joke. Their old site was also funny as heck. Anybody ever tried to order from them? I don´t think they are an actual business, but may be wrong.

Perhaps it is. I wondered about that, particular with some of the pseudo-religious references being so over-the-top.

But unfortunately plenty of those lunatic-fringe audiophile websites aren't spoofs. I wish they were! How about garbage like Shakti stones? Their appearance seems to be an attempt to recreate some of the visuals from the movie Stargate, and evidently, quite a few people fell for the nonsense.

Years ago I remember someone selling magnets that you clamped onto the fuel line running to the carburetor (yes, before fuel injection) in your car. Apparently magnetizing gasoline (!!) gives you vastly improved gas mileage.

I actually poured a bottle of Jagermeister into each of my speakers last night. Gives quite the Joe Walsh bass beauty.

One must be careful with bybees as they will trunk to various landmarks/buildings when planes fly over depending on what oscillations are in your music. I was able to also pick up the Philly blue line noise here in DC. 🙂!
 
Yeah it did make the second note of the rocky theme song when the helicopter flew over. The amp was off...but it was just switched off, not unplugged. Thus those fluids i added were well charged.

Maybe if i had a bigger setup like the ones in the movie theatres and charged em right before i threw it into the cow brain glue, it would make the whole deal.
 
Ancient aliens theory debunked

@5000-6000 years ago, fertile crescent inhabitants memorialized storm/warrior god, Ninurta, in flight, and preparing to attack his also airborne foe, Anzu.
Some have noted his daggers resemblance to modern in development weapons capable of launching plasma toroids.
Proof, they posit, of advanced alien tech, rather than gods.
I don't think so, Tim.
An advanced alien would wear a smartwatch; he wouldn't wear an analogue watch, as is carved in the pictured image.��
