“I use coax.”

In the early days of home theater it became common to get both a digital coax input as well as a fiber optic input on home theater receivers. The coax cables were heavier and thicker than the fiber optic cables. There was a dedicated group of HT hobbyists who insisted that the coax cables resulted in better bass.

Trying to explain that both cables were passing digital packets fell on deaf ears. The coax cables were thick, they were heavy, and they had copper cores, of course the bass frequencies were better with coax!
