Linus need's to do a review on this over price crap.

After searching around for a monstrous cable I saw plugged into the psu of a show case pc at computex 2017 I found what I believe is that product used.

This is hilarious and goes right up there with that $1,000 HDMI cable.

These people want HUNDREDS and THOUSANDS of dollars for standardized power cables.

$4k a meter? What is this commercial sea bed cable?

he's already done something like that from a while ago i think. 

Our Grace. The Feathered One. He shows us the way. His bob is majestic and shows us the path. Follow unto his guidance and His example. He knows the one true path. Our Saviour. Our Grace. Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example. The True Path of the Feathered One. ~ Dimboble-dubabob III

In that case, I'll sell you a bottle cap for $100. I'll even throw in the shirt off my back.

On a serious note if anyone wants a fancy cable you can get any "audiophile" geared standardized cable like this.

Probably even does the same if used in audio equipment for my pleb ears.

Still the guys in the OP are out of their minds.

You might as well tell me to make sewer pipes out of platinum and tell me it spits out drinking water.

I'm sure there is someone out there that advertises clean power delivery for those cable snobs.

Yeah I mean I dabble a bit with audio doing graphics for events. But like I can't think of any good reason for this cable other then some audiophile freaking out "noisy" power is coming up into their device and contaminating other sensitive crap around that device. But that's like a stretch..

The Abyss headphones are actually not bad, but the cables are just a rip-off.

If it's a mains power cable, it doesn't matter. If the device you plug this cable into "contaminates" other devices, then the device itself sucks at filtering out the noise from mains.

 

Mains power is very dirty.

I have a blog! And a list of guides I've posted

Right I know, I'm saying the radio frequency coming through the cables sleeving messing with other cables coming off of devices that are hanging back there with it. Again its audiophile snobry kinda stuff. xD
