Ultra Hi-Fi: Crystal Cable's "Core" Silver-Gold Cable Line-the Diamond Series 2 Update (Jan. 2024)

Audio jewelry at its best. I would love to see blind listening tests to validate some of their claims.

Yeh I can't believe were still talking about adding special stuff to cables to give them a things like a warmer & more homogeneous sound 😂

Well, I sincerely recommend you do the blind test by yourself. I did, at home. In a high-end system with the Diamond Series, the difference is so obvious you have to be deaf not to hear it. If you choose not to buy this type of product because you don't like it, don't want it, or cannot afford it, I can respect that, but if you just argue without listening to the product yourselves it is not very logical, is it?

@@vmpty Not really, I know Homeopathy is b*llocks & I don't need to try & treat an illness with it to find out. There are plenty of extremely qualified people, who are also trustworthy & don't have ulterior motives that have put in the work of making videos & writing articles that shines a light on this snakeoil. Gene DellaSala from audioholics does tests with some very serious testing kit & publishes his findings that prove as long as you use the correct gauge & a decent copper it makes no difference. At MWAVE they had a room where they done blind tests with scores of the public who showed up to the show over a couple of days & not one single person could tell the difference with more reliability than just random chance. I don't want to p*ss on anyone's chips whos spent money on this stuff & I hope they enjoy them, but I ain't buying it.

@@vmpty on the contrary it is more logical to buy things that have evidence behind them. If you want to buy this from a jewelry standpoint that is perfectly fine. Looks matter as we are very visual creatures. Placebo effect and confirmation bias are a real thing so just because you think you were hearing a different doesn't mean you are until you do blind testing. This could be done at home by having someone swap cables or pretend to swap cables, etc. I hope you enjoy the music you're listening to more so than the gear!

Very thin conductors with shielding, I would expect resistance values to be high
