Here is some info:

It's not just 1's and 0's, it's the timing!!
There is a fundamental difference between the transfer of computer data and digital audio signals. Computers are able to transfer digital data without loss, because the data moves in the robust form of blocks, which do not depend on specific timing between the sending and receiving devices. However, digital audio signals are continuous streams of data, which are quite fragile, since the digital processor must remain perfectly locked onto the timing of the signal to avoid data losses.

The Limitations of digital audio processors and cables create timing errors known as jitter, which remove portions of the audio signal and replace them with noise and distortion. Cables tend to round off the square waveforms of the signal, making them less clear to the processor, thus increasing jitter. This rounding effect varies greatly among cables and a truly superior digital audio cable can make great improvements in sound quality.

WireWorld digital audio cables utilize unique designs specifically developed to minimize jitter by providing sharper, cleaner leading edges on the digital waveform. At each price level, they provide the lowest jitter available, producing distinct improvements in clarity, image focus, smoothness and dynamic range.

Shawn, in short, WireWorld cables are simply more "danceable"!

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

You copied and pasted that from their website. They cite no evidence in that marketing statement, which intermixes fact and hyperbole in order to convince you that you need their product. The human ear and eye can discern no difference between competently designed cables in any price bracket.

I replaced the stock power cord on one of my subwoofers and it become infinitely better.








Because it couldn't reach the outlet before.

Don't you wish wall outlets were movable? If you put a horizontal metallic bar filled with electrical coils all the way around the room, just behind the drywall, and then designed movable outlets that use induction to transmit the current through the wall that are held in place by strong magnets... Now that would be convenient.

There. Fixed dat for u.

Ok, what about my electric stapler. When I use a smaller(thinner) extension cord, the staples go part way in. When I Upgrade to a bigger cord, they countersink! Must be magic!

I'm sorry, but I got so tired reading the verbal drivel that these companies put out. It seems if you use enough tech speak that the masses will believe this crap. There is never any verifiable backup but there is always a big price tag. Anyway, thats my rant and I know I will never dissuade those that want to believe that the more money you spend the better the sound, the better the picture and whatever else money can buy.
