That's pure marketing snake oil!

Well, it is relative. And what do you desire.
If you mean sending energy through it, yes, that is a real job of a cable.
You cannot pass energy through snake oil. But it may be flammable.

On the other hand, if you mean preconditioning wire in an audio system like speaker cables and expect some changes in sonic characteristics, it depends on the amount of energy. At some point it will start melting the insulation and may be audibly explode?

Or, do you mean changing the sound in a small matter for better or worse? That is nonsense, no snakes involved or harmed.

There we go again. We do now live in an age where people will believe anything. The electrons will move from one atoms shell to the next just the same however long you have been making them move from one to the next. Yes, it is all atomic physics literally, and beyond the understanding of audiophools.

Yep, these days people will believe anything. Sadly.

So now you know why the polls show that the election is close. So half the country are pig dribble stupid. Who knew?

That was apparent back in 2016.

Curious, what makes you think there's any reality there?

Its either mass stupidity or mass Stockholm Syndrome.
(probably have to be pig dribble stupid to even develop Stockholm Syndrome)

LOL gotta thank doc for a phrase that is now burned into my mind....pig dribble!

I’d like to point out in our current cycle, takes two to tango… pig dribble stupid

Part of the issue is manufacturers put it in their literature, online experts talk about it and I’ve even had discussions about it at stereo stores with guys I know and respect. To me if you can’t measure it or reliably hear in blind A/B testing then it’s nothing to worry about. Now if you spend next month’s rent or mortgage on the cables and cryogenically freeze them and keep them off the floor…

Just make sure you point the arrows in the right direction.
