I have a feeling that would pick up noise
Especially with that makeshift antenna hanging 💀
That’s the ground. It’s probably not an issue.
The antenna looking piece of wire is the ground so it doesn’t matter if it picks up anything.
Nah stop with that audiophile snake oil non-sense
If the connections are solid it wouldn’t pick up any more noise than a 6.5mm to RCA adaptor would have. Any jiggle to the cable would result in popping or cracking though, depending on the configuration could be quite jarring.
Insulating tape on the signal wires, then foil tucked around that ground wire.
You can order an adapter for like a dollar on multiple websites. I mean yeah, there’s no Radio Shack anymore, but this seems unnecessary.
I think this is more for that time you’re at a gig and realise you’re missing the adapter.
That does make sense, although it would be weird to go to a gig and not have a 1/4" to RCA adapter but happen to have large-gauge copper wire.
They just leave that shit in the walls in almost every building
Proprietors generally don’t care for big holes in their drywall.
Search for access panels such as water shutoff valves.
They’re also assuming American houses because nowhere else exists.
I am? Is drywall a uniquely American thing and everywhere else has copper wires exposed? Because that’s certainly not what I observed in my travels.
Relevant xkcd alt-text 841.
For years, I took the wrong lesson from that Monster Cable experiment and only listened to my music through alligator-clipped coat hangers.
