    It actually has little to do with how expensive or cheap the cable is. The light travels by total internal reflection and needs to be at a certain angle to transmit the signal. Bunching up the cable means the light meets the surface at a higher angle and transmits some of the light outside the fiber, which leads to signal loss.

    Shit I thought drilling oil in Alaska or mining coal in China was bad until I saw this.

    I just realized the owner of the system in the OP is a filthy poser.

    If you're serious about this you'd obviously get your cables suspended from the ceiling using non-magnetic elven-braided quantum-injected wire!

    For $250,000.00 I can magically become Middle Earth certified audioxorcist. The more the Benjamin's, the stronger I feel the force.
