Hi, I just made my first audio cables, mostly for the looks though, not hoping to improve sound. Six RCA interconnects (VanDamme cable + Neutrik plug). The cables work and I think (placebo warning!) they sound better/stronger than the thin black in-the-box cables I had before. How 'bout that...

Hi,   The topic of lossless and lossy comes up all the time. "Can you hear any difference?" "I always do!" "It's impossible!" Etc.   Often though, the discussions remain theoretical and while empirical data is offered ("I tested this and that with these results") people chime in with...
