Fancy Interconnects? How about a potato, or even mud?



Did you know that you can pass a line level audio signal thru a banana? How about a sweet potato or even a bucket of mud? You can, quite easily. No joke, it really works. You can even stick two wires in the dirt in the back garden and pass an audio signal thru the dirt.



I spent this afternoon doing just that, and making recordings of it. This is no April Fool joke, it really works. If any of you are interested in what it sounds like, you can do it yourself, or I can post samples here.



You'd be surprised at what a musical signal sent thru a banana, a potato or a bucket of mud sounds like. Cyro that, cable guys!



Anyone care to hear it? Anyone care to guess what it sounds like? OK, we've all heard or read the sales pitch for interconnects of fancy materials and geometries, I've got them all beat.Did you know that you can pass a line level audio signal thru a banana?
