True, I still enjoy their magnetize once in a while because I sometimes just like to look at something when I eat (not cable reviews)
mebe someone should make a cable that’s an inch thick, but it’s all shroud and has just a few copper threads and sell it for bucko bucks?

The thinnest possible cable you can get but insulated with material that provides no insulation whatsoever.
Or better yet a balanced cable modified to introduce it’s own interference or ground loop
solder coat hangers in series and sell as custom lengths?
Melt down some coke cans in to a mold cover in plastic and sell as a solid pure cable. No flex makes it faster for your audio to get to your speakers. 
You are mostly correct.
Compressed 7.1 via DTS audio codec is also possible.

Interesting, I guess I had just thought it was only limited to 5.1
S/PDIF went through several iterations, you may have been right a few years ago

not an audiophile term but sure it does pisses me off every time I hear the word “Beats” and its so called “people aren’t hearing all the music.” Yeah people aren’t hearing all of the music because your overall sound is shit!
This thread is halirious.
Jim Belushi crashing a snooty fraternity mixer comes to mind.
I couldn’t find the exact scene. It has to be this one?
Yes! That’s it! That is the HiFiGuides members peeing on the chinos of the posh, Jazz listening attendees of RMAF.
The rest of the video is hilarious, also.
Just give hifiguides the reputation as the place for people that do the dumbest possible things with audio. Like go out of the ways at shows to promote it but in the dumbest way possible

Just imagining what an ad campaign for that would look like and lol.
Make a hifiguides youtube channel and a hifiguides podcast but the reviews are either satirical to the extreme or are the biggest waste of time you have seen

Yeah like a four hour review studying the acoustic measurements of one of thos inline 3.5 mm speaker plugged into an iphone 2 and comparing it to like a million dollar wood horn speaker set up and just crapping on the expensive one
It also has to have crazy production quality to make it look legit
Shot like blade runner 2049.
In hyper expensive show room:
Yes this is very good but have you experienced the sound of pure tin?
Puts club music on the inline speaker that can barely play
Shouting over it: CAN YOU HEAR THE EXCELLENCE?

We need to get on this asap lol, a great business opportunity this is. We get the members of the forums to act like it’s a super accurate review and it’s some godlike product when it’s garbage, and get sponsored by all these cheap Chinese brands. Once you amass that large of Chinese sponsors you work to release colab products and shill them to the max, and the designs are reverse engineered versions of popular brands that undercuts them in price. Then use your influence to discredit other platforms and reviewers to bring more people on the platform and boost your numbers. Then open a pateron and offer some illusionary promise and gain more income. Then move to china where we can’t be sued and go ham on the cloning products and start money laundering. After you get enough funds, start to buy out the good brands and take ownership. Then with their experience and resources create extremely high end snake oil products, so you can control chifi and the high end market at once. Once you gain majority market dominance, you can start to inflate the prices for all products and then start buying rights to music and record lables until you eventually have control over music platforms and the music itself.

Only if it involves converting our millions to cryptocurrency when we become paranoid about theft and we keep it all on a single thumb stick we lose while clubbing and have to dig endlessly in a landfill to find but never do.
