I asked Neil earlier on what he considered the cut off point to be but no response. I thought it was a reasonable and very pertinent question. If there is to be no cut off point then I really struggle with that, it seems irrational and illogical.
I'm all for the idea that the Universe is stranger than we can imagine. But there's a big gap for me between that and chancers exploiting human psychology to sell quack remedies. This cable is obviously in the latter camp.
When I was in sales my job was to sell tat for more than it was worth, and for more than you could buy it elsewhere. You were not allowed to lie but you could 'paint a picture' and draw the punter into a world where the purchase made sense to him. That's why the advert for this product has no experimental results to show the claimed dramatic reduction in the noise floor but instead highlights the use of some supposedly rare and exotic Japanese charcoal that has special properties. As soon as you encounter something like that in any sales pitch, you know you are being mugged off.
