Sorry, I was getting tired of reading about acoustical panels, et al....

I was trolling Agon and this heading caught my eye.  Might be an interesting $450 test run of cables. 

Per Agon ad by Roor:
I listed two pairs of these this morning, and they sold, so I've decided to list more of my collection. This 9' pair of wire is made to the ultimate specifications for a the rocket program, and is made to me impervious to EMP, which is the electrical pulse that is created when a nuclear weapon is detonated. This pulse knocks out electronics uless they are engineered to to function under these conditions. I got a 100' spool of this from a friend who worked at, or knew someone at Aerojet. I love it, and kept it all, but am moving my listening area, and no longer have a need for the shorter pairs of cables. This is a 10' pair. I have two pair left. Apparently, this specially shielded silver wire cost over $300 per foot. I've tried to take a couple of high resolution shots to show how carefully this wire was made and I'll describe it.The outside jacket is a heavy polypropolene that is formed tightly to the silver shield wire that is directly under it. It is a soft material that is white and unmarked.The shield wires are very fine and are wound so that they make a solid wrap around the teflon tape that is wound under that. There are also a few strands that are wound the opposite direction under them. I have no idea what the purpose of this is, but it must be something to do with the effectiveness of the RF rejection.The teflon wrap, or possibly something like Kapton (I can't come out and say it's Kapton) which is a high tech EMF rejection material designed for this exact application, is a strip that is wound so that there is a good solid layer around the two conductors inside.The white and black conductors look like 14 gauge with normal teflon (again this probably isn't and "possibly" Kapton) speaker wires used by all the well known cable manufacturers. This insulation may be much more exotic and expensive than teflon. The govt doesn't cut any corners in their nuclear missle research. There is also a wind of about 28-30 turns per foot, which is different from most strands I've seen.This wire is undoubtedly the most ultimate cable you will ever get your hands on.It is impervious to the effects of carpet or anything else your speaker wires may come in contact with. The ultimate isolation. These can be shortened and doubled up for bi-wiring speaker cables also. Amazingly spooky sound. Imaging is incredible. Sound is truly fantastic.

Anyone familiar with these?

Nuclear resistant cabling,,,, now that's what I'm talking about! Where do i sign up? Lead me to a review,,,,


Cheers,

This ad sounded really familiar to one that was run many times in the past few years on Audiogon.  It seems like this ad has cable that is priced quite a bit higher.

The nuclear rocket and government spec is what I thought I recognized from some older ads.

I could be wrong but it sure sounds like another ad I remembered that was recycled many times.

I think the other one had a large amount available and you could buy it by the foot for a lot cheaper.

...and there is only one way to actually prove they are nuclear-proof.

EMP tests are routinely run at DoD facilities in Pax River and New Mexico.  Lots of military gear is tested for EMP during qual testing.

Here here to Kenreau, can we please be done arguing about panels....
