Leaving potrable hifi - it's too silly

Make the cables liquid and I'm sold.

Cryogenically treated of course.

That shouldn't be so hard. Just use little plastic tubes filled with mercury.

[spritzer]

I somehow doubt that the mercury would pass the RoHS mandate... Not much of an issue since most of the crap sold in this hobby would never be UL or CE approved.

How about nitrogen filled insulation around a nitrogen-treated copper core?

How about a patented mix of super heated nitrogen?

Hopefully nobody will try to reterminate my mercury cables.

Your nitrogen insulation has too much impurities in it.

I'm not sure where they could find adequate supplies.

My cohorts and I have invented a way to suspend a "super" conductor inside special vacuum-sealed shielding WITHOUT any loss from dielectric interference and (get ready for this) ANY resistance.

I know your thinking "too good to be true" but it isn't! Our "super" wire uses 100% solid stranded niobium and titanium superconducting alloy that is continuously cryogenically treated at near absolute zero to ensure absolutely NO RESISTANCE!!!! If you wish, you can also install one of our patent-pending Josephson junctions to make one source passively feed as many devices as necessary with absolutely NO LOSS!

Once you have one of our cables connected to your terminals, never again will it be questioned what exactly is lost in tow from your precious iPod or other audio equipments outdated connections.

Together with my "super" friends, SARC industries have been created to exclusively sell the entire line of lineout docks, headphone cables, and protection. Products include the Mr. Freeze iPod dock, Frosty the Snowman RCA cables, Yeti XLR, and last but certainly not least, the Frostbite headphone cable line. Once you stick your headphones on your head with these works of physics and art, we promise that you will forever dread the moment you must remove them.

Visit us now and rest assured that your audio equipment will never need another cable ever again.

Yup, portable rigs suck.

i always thought plasma would be a pretty good cable material.

My huge wire company has developed the worlds finest cable. First we start out with 12 gauge steel wire, with the finest in rubber cement insulation, all in a pvc tube stuffed with cotton balls (cotton's a great insulator, right?). Of course it would be nowhere without proper interference, so we wind copper wire around the tubing, with a mini transistor radio hooked up to an am station, and to shield that from outside interference, we have another pvc tube, with an entry point - For liquid Nitrogen. Since Liquid nitrogen wouldn't do much while it's a fluid, we wrap the whole thing with Nichrome wire, which takes an external battery pack ($29.99) and propriatory batteries ($19.99 each, requires 12). Can't have it looking terrible now, with how awesome it sounds, can we? We glued on strips of led's all around, then sheathed it in ers paper, and duct taped it.

I really think we've made the finest wire money can buy. But how flexable is it? Surprisingly so, for a 4 inch diameter cable. Patents pending.

[EdipisReks]

ok, that's pretty funny.

[philodox]

They're not actively shielded with tubes and therefore suck. Sorry.

[spritzer]

Your nitrogen insulation has too much impurities in it.

Think of it as selected types of gas to enhance the properties of the copper conductor.

[luvdunhill]

leaving? I just got here. Once again, I'm anti-FOTM! I have three portable amps now..

PPAv2 with battery pack
Millet Tube Hybrid Portable
Baby Stax

yay!

I wish I had read a thread like this a few years ago. WTS Tomahawk + ALO Jumbo Cyro. PST

[LFF]

Ok! So who wants to sell me their PICO for $50.00!?!!?!

[Dreadhead]

I'll pay $51

[receph]

Portable rigs don't suck!
.. as long as the source is good, that is.

IHP120w/32GbCFmod -> iBassoD1w/AD744Dac,AD797L/R,LME46900Buf -> E500 sounds okay to me

Believe or not, with high detail opamps (most in my stock aren't but the above combination rulezzz!), my hearing got better. Not only I can make out conversations better, I have better pitch. That does not say much about where my hearing was before, right.

Dap outputs are mostly muddy, inarticulate, and lack detailed low end, in my experience. Maybe the Trekstor VibeZ is okay in that regard, but nothing compared to the rig above.

I want a dap with usb out so I can buy a PICO!
