Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

Not deliberately

And to the degree and by the nature of its attenuation, it is less than ideal. A perfect cable would not attenuate at ANY frequencies and certainly not selectively in the bandwidth of interest for the signal it is intended to connect. If audiophile cables alter sound in any way, this is how they do it, by attenuating some frequencies more than others. The good news is that the cheapo cables do not. A $1 RS interconnect will pass a 7 mhz NTSC video signal without distortion visible even on a high quality 36" tv screen. For use at audio frequencies, it functions as perfectly as anyone could want and will only introduce its own noise and distortion of down -120 db at the seventh harmonic of 5 khz. That's better than any consumer electronics product ever on the market. To the degree an audiophile interconnect sounds different from this cable, it is flawed. To the degree it is more expensive, it is overpriced.
