mjs_mjs Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 It's not an error - just read some of the reviews of it on Amazon... - The Reg had a good laugh when it was first released too! Stephen isn't that an ethernet cable? why would u use that for audio?
mpe Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 As for the mythical gold plating, I guarantee the actual cable is the same inside all of them. Find me a lead with gold cabling and I might believe it makes a difference, It's only really likely to make much of a difference on a plug (or socket) which is very infrequently used. Probably only when kept in a hostile environment (near the sea, chemistry lab, etc) too. The only real point of the gold plating is that it is less reactive than other metals, so you won't get a non conductive tarnish/oxide forming.
