Well yes, but try telling a true believer that the reason for high end audio cables is that's where dealers make all their profits and you will be viewed as if you just told them you have ebola.
I'm sure most of us have bought a TV in the last 10 years and the sales gimp has tried to fob us off with a $50 gold plated monster HDMI cable cos it makes the picture better

Just ask them if the gold is matte or leveled, electro less or electroplated, with nickel flash at 30 micro inches...Well yes, but try telling a true believer that the reason for high end audio cables is that's where dealers make all their profits and you will be viewed as if you just told them you have ebola.

They leave you alone after that.

Ps. Oh, almost forgot the "look". You know, the condescending "say one more word and you will be a eunich (or wish you were).

My son, who has a Masters degree in physics, worked in electronics retail for a time before setting out on his final career path.I'm sure most of us have bought a TV in the last 10 years and the sales gimp has tried to fob us off with a $50 gold plated monster HDMI cable cos it makes the picture better
Punters would come in and ask for a lead to connect their shiny new doodah (which they'd invariably bought in another shop!) to their ancient whatsit.
When informed this was physically and electrically impossible, and that no such lead existed, they would tell my son that he didn't know what he was talking about and that they would go elsewhere!
P.S. My son never sold anyone an expensive gold plated HDMI cable unless they insisted on having one. He simply would not destroy his integrity as a physicist!
Yes, these are the possible ones. As I said, people ask for the impossible!
P.S. I'm not just talking about TVs.
You were the first person to help me on this forum and, since then, I have held you in great respect. I certainly was not disrespecting your comment on $50 HDMI leads, if that's what you think.
That's helpful Dan, but exactly which/where is the Refresh button please!
High-Temperature Superconductors Puzzle Scientists
Scientists at the Florida State University-headquartered National High Magnetic Field Laboratory have discovered a behavior in materials called cuprates that suggests they carry current in a way entirely different from conventional metals such as copper. The research, published in the journal Science , adds new meaning to the materials’ moniker, “strange metals.”
