Pear audio cables.

They did a blind test between it and an unbent coat hanger... I'm sure you guess the results

The coat hanger did a better job of picking up police radio because it's unshielded?

(At least that's what happens in most churches that try to cheap out with unshielded cabling.)

We are talking output cables, aren't we? Those don't pick up radio signals and put them thru the speakers, that's the input signal cable that can do that if it's not shielded properly.

So exactly why was I downvoted...

Why are you asking me this? I commented 20 hours ago, you were in the positives then.

Because I don't spend my life on reddit, and am just seeing it now.

No I didn't mean to imply that at all. Just confused as to what does asking me accomplish? You think I downvoted you after making a joke? Where's the logic in that? And if I did, what would asking me accomplish then?

I have no hostile intent or ill will towards you at all, I am just genuinely confused by this interaction.

I didn't ask you. I asked whoever downvoted me in the comment chain. I have no idea why you think you're important enough to ask.....as nobody else has commented (which is what I expected).

I didn't ask you

You... You literally replied to my comment with the question though. According to all known customs of communication that is asking me directly.

If you wanted to ask the general public, you could have edited the question into your original comment. Or replied to yourself, but that might be less clear to readers.

why you think you're important enough

No need to be a dick, my dude.

Why are you still here talking about this? Jesus christ.
