Twelve audiophiles around the world just had seizures

They wouldn’t hear any difference whatsoever: tomshardware.com/…/in-a-blind-test-audiophiles-co…
In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud — 'The mud should sound perfectly awful, but it doesn't,' notes the experiment creator

Who knew listening to a banana sounded so good?

That’s the joke. They would claim that … I don’t know… electrons are going to fall off that copper wire or something like that.

they’d be mad about the lack of shielding, which COULD result in noise from interference. it won’t, but audiophiles love ignoring real-world measurements in favor of theoretical ones.

Audio goes over balanced cables, as long as they’re close together they should receive equal and opposite interference, so interference is cancelled out
