Expensive audiophile cables – a miracle of technology or a marketing fairy tale? The new episode is now on YouTube!

Calendar 12/9/2025

Expensive audiophile cables – do they really improve sound quality? Watch our experiment with manufacturers at the Audio Video Show and discover the facts, myths and audio voodoo behind premium cables.

Do cables costing thousands really improve sound? Do cable pads make sense? Or is it all just audio voodoo? In the new episode on YouTube, we went to the Audio Video Show and with a camera, we asked the manufacturers themselves. The answers… can be surprising.

In the material, you will see:

  • the most controversial theories about HDMI, USB, and Ethernet cables,

  • attempts to explain "slowing down the signal for better sound,"

  • honest (and less honest) reactions from exhibitors,

  • our commentary supported by tests and physics,

  • and a second question that has sparked an even bigger storm:

    what is more important – acoustics, equipment, or cables?

Additionally, we show how easily facts, marketing, and placebo mix in the audio world. Some believe every detail, while others shake their heads in disbelief — and we check where technology ends and magic begins. If you are interested in audio or simply enjoy when technology meets myths, this episode is for you. Drop by the channel, watch, and be sure to let us know in the comments which side of the debate you are on. Perhaps we are preparing something more for you...
