If the PS3 can be made to take snapshots it would be pretty cool (and VERY useful in this case)

If the PS3 could be made to take snapshots it'd be at the PS3 end of the cable, BEFORE the picture's been ruined by 6 feet of low-grade copper that hasn't been cryogenically frozen or sprinkled with lavender, remember?

And not suprising to me either as they obviously didnt use decent mains equipment which is what i've been trying to say since the beginning of the thread :T

You think the mains in your house is more "decent" that the mains in a television studio? I take it you think that the whole station is run off a four-way extension lead?

Absolutely nowhere did I say BLURRING. I said bleeding and I ment in minute quantities. There isnt a single cable on the planet that allows ALL detail through even though they ARE digital.

Nonsense and nonsense.

Haven't you ever copied a file with a FireWire or USB lead?

I think you'll find it's identical to the original.

please explain to me, and make it ENTIRELY clear.......what you mean by the 'HIM' comment?

I think he probably means people who believe in alien abduction, the Loch Ness monster, the Yeti, Reptilian Humanoids, the flat Earth, et cetera.

You seem singularly unable to grasp this point.

These opinions are meaningless. There are people out there who think that colouring in your CDs green improves their sound. There's as much reason for that to be true as there is all the things you're spouting.

In proper objective testing, people are unable to detect any difference. If you were involved in one of these tests, you would be unable to tell the difference. There is no difference. There is no reason why there should be a difference.

You could use one of the voodoo power cables on it and see if the picture it takes looks better.

Or apparently, the 1s and 0s whizzing around inside it will even be better if it's plugged directly into the mains.

How could an extension lead possibly make any difference after the miles of cheap copper wire the electricity has already travelled through?

I think youll find I was talking about HIFI. A firewire and usb leads are all about COMPUTERS. Computers are NOT hifi. They are designed to take information from one place and place it to another (transfer information). Of COURE they work as the information has no way of just dissapearing. Im talking about minute details that can get lost in a signal(Nothing WHATSOEVER to do with ANY computer files of ANY kind)

Its quite obvious at this point that you have no idea and are really not willing to listen to reason of any kind and therfore I shall no longer be communicating with you. If you wish to carry this on then please create your own thread to do so. Goodbye

Except firewire is used in many audio separates as well. Besides I'm not sure why you think 1s and 0s in a computer are any different conceptually from 1s and 0s in hi fi equipment. Shannon Nyquist applies to data no matter what form it is in or what device is processing it. Most hi fi equipment actually is a computer it's just the tooled purpose that makes us call the equipment a computer or not. Throughput and storage of data all follows exactly the same laws of physics and the only real difference is whether they're digital or analogue and so the only real difference ultimately is in the DACs and ADCs.

My dad uses firewire between his dvd and av amp. We tried the cheap freebie cable against the one that qed makes. The qed one sounded better. Thats all im saying on that subject.
Dacs do make quite a difference yes but lets stay on subject ~ cables

Cables: make sure there's a good connection and good conductivity and good shielding, that's all you really need. That can be achieved with pretty cheap cables. I've needed to measure things in picoamps and attofarads. Do you think you really need expensive cables? I spent more of my budget on simply getting right connectors than the actual cabling (mostly bog standard coax and triax) which made little difference at THAT scale on molecular devices so to say that you'll get any improvement on something that's a far less refined resolution just simply isn't true. The error in signal between differently priced cables just isn't quantitatively large enough to make the slightest difference, and in the case of any digital signals they certainly aren't enough for low/high conditions to be reversed or aliasing etc. The only circumstances for that are basically a faulty cable. With analogue, either you get really rubbish cabling or decent enough and anything better goes way beyond human perception anyway which is quite a specifically known sampling rate range.
