Irrelevant attempt at an analogy. /there is absolutely nothing in common
between you argument about the optical cables and hard drive spin speed.

No they are not.

Sure, there can be some delay over the length of a cable. the difference
between 3 and 6 feet when talking about the speed of light is less than
negligible. Even if one cable was 1000 feet long, as long as the bits
arrived intact, the only difference in sound might be a millisecond or so of
delay, not any differnce in bass, detail and kick, whatever the fuck those
things mean.

You are a screaming artard.

You need to be getting your cables from this genius
