: Absolute overkill, and it appears that the construction style would lead
:to HUGE capacitance levels.



** Only a complete ****** would claim 1500 pF per metre is " HUGE" for a
speaker cable.

The aim is to reduce linear inductance so that means C must go up.


Overkill doesn't come into it, although it is a ridiculous cable
construction.



** What is so ridiculous about it ?

Can you come up with a better way to reduce or eliminate cable inductance?


It would be interesting to see a manufacturer spec sheet... it would
probably
claim that the unique arrangement of 3 bundles of strands in each
conductor
being interwoven with the adjacent conductor groups somehow cancelled out
the
capacitance.



** What pathetic, fabricated crapology.


It would also be interesting to see what would happen if the insulation
between
2 adjacent strands from each conductor group broke down. I don't know of
any
coating used to insulate copper strands which is 100% guaranteed to remain
intact, especially where constant flexing occurs near the banana plugs.



** There is simply no problem with insulation failure.

Why do smug fools have to go inventing problems that don't exist?


At least
someone thought to insulate one banana plug at each end with heatshrink.



** Solid metal plugs have that obvious problem.
