For me it’s driving while under the influence. If you couldn’t tell, I like me some ganja. However I have long since held the belief that it is utterly insane to drive while under the influence of most substances, with maybe nicotine and caffeine being the exception. All too often I see other stoners smoking and driving, which I simply can’t fathom. I’ve only operated a vehicle once under the influence and it was just to move a U-Haul around the block to a different parking spot, which was such a scary experience while high that I refuse to even consider getting behind the wheel again while high.

    What you mean I dont need a $400 XLR that has

    advanced geometry, solid Perfect-Surface Copper+, Hard-Cell Foam insulation, Triple Balanced geometry, and a Carbon-Based 3-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS)??

    Those big fancy words sound super important. It’s even got special features such as a disconnected ground

    Whereas almost every other “balanced” cable uses its shield as the ground reference, AQ Triple-Balanced cables use a separate dedicated shield that is only connected on one end.

    God this is so bad, I don’t even want to link it, but here you go Did I mentioned the Hard-Cell Foam (HCF) Insulation?

    Click just the h for the actual link. Good luck :p

      I LOVE a good rickroll! 🤣

      I have van damme cables that cost me a fortune back in the day, still going strong but nowhere near 400 notes

        Glad you enjoyed it.

        The Van Damme cables seem less of a scam to me. Instead of specifications from fantacy land, they seem to have put some effort into actully making a better cable.

        If nothing else, however rediculous “silver plated oxygen free copper” sounds to me for an audio cable, it is a lot better than “carban based noise dissapation layer”.

        I am curious, in what situation would you decide to buy something like a Van Damme over a regular name brand well made cable.

          Basically two things at the time. One was the solder on the jack kept coming off on the cheaper cables at the time, so I’d lose signal. The second is I’m a clumsy git and would sometimes snag a cable popping it free from the device it was connected to. Keep tredding on cables and they dont like it, but the van dammes took it waay better.
