There's plenty of jacking going on already.

BTW, does transforming the audio data into a photon and sending it through fiber optics improve the signal?

It's magic.

Anyway, AF's said in the past that he uses fancy power cords for his recording sessions. I can't believe you guys didn't catch that until now.

Have you seen audiophile power jacks and plugs? From our friends at Kimber:

http://www.wattgate.com/

Here's a typical sales job for a power cable:

Palladian incorporates a special copper optimized for 120 volt AC wall voltage, as well as a special conductor dielectric that is devoid of performance robbing color doping, affording an uninhibited flow of current and voltage. In combination with the premium Wattgateâ„¢ Audio Gradeâ„¢ 350 IEC and 330 US wall plug, these ultra quiet cables allow for unlimited dynamics, toe tapping rhythmic articulation and exceptional low-level resolution.

Do fingerprints on stereo knobs cause distortion? Is there a photon powered knob turning glove sold anywhere?
