Vodka dissection

Don't know if this is ok by Forum rules, didn't really see anything in there to ban it  but I'm sure the moderator will check ...

 

I know some of you are Vodka ethernet cable users and came across this cable dissection on the Ars Technica web site that might be interesting; I make no comment as it is outside my knowledge.

 Alcohol + wuzzy =

Wuzzy = vaso vagal thingy

Vasovagal  !!!  have you been to Inyanga?   Need to find whats going on & nip it ASAP.   I had a series of episodes back in 1990's ,  doc  found serious BP issues with numbers >190/100 !!!!  I've been on monkey bone dust since & no more episodes.  I now have the perfect 120/70 & am now on the lowest BP medication available - i.e. I don't really need it.  But strongly rec to get it sorted if not done already.

Anybody tried a camcorder PSU on their streaming devices.

I was clearing out my garage the other day and came across an old camcorder PSU. With all the talk of ifi power supplies etc I decided to take a look inside to check out how sophisticated it is.

The first thing I noticed was how robust it is. A two pound lump hammer robust.

Not surprisingly it looks pretty sophisticated, plus being obsolete wouldn’t cost a lot of money.

Side effect of a procedure it'll go away.
Inyanga?

Don't think it will do much for sound quality now!

I've got high blood pressure. The monkey bone dust - where do you get it from and do you swallow it or snort it?

Blimey, you neither swallow it or snort it, you just slap in your head! Does it sort out dandruff also?

I am a bit concerned that brain damage is possible side effect due to the method of application. Did you notice any pronounced headaches when you were taking it?

Reminds me of a Hugo (may-its-blessings-always-shine-upon-us) except maybe a little prettier. Also, I suggest you don't take a lump hammer to a Hugo (may-its-blessings-always-shine-upon-us) as Chord definitely won't repair that. Btw, has anyone tried attaching a third party power supply to a Hugo (may-its-blessings-always-shine-upon-us) or a Dave (may-its-abundance-forever-live-within-our-hearts)?

No my head remained numb for at least a month after each visit - Comfortably Numb

..... the manufacturer's claim that the silver coating is "excellent for very high-frequency applications, like Ethernet audio"

what a load of pffle, if the cable is a legitimate Cat 5e or better its bandwidth is irrelevant for Ethernet other than it will certified to work in 100BaseT or 1000BaseT configurations using upto 4 pairs upto 100 metres.. Talk of crosstalk is mostly  and silver coating of copper is a complete irrelevance. Perhaps this sort of rubbish will disappear once today's kids who I hope are actually taught about information technologies start to buy this stuff.

I agree, total hocus-pocus..
