Peter:""Maybe......that super-low inductance, super-low capacitance cable will actually sound great...it's possible... :-)""Certainly possible..the tradeoff makes the capacitance higher of course...LC=1034*DC is inviolate, as for a DC of 1, prop speed is the speed of light. So yah, I can make a cable with 250 picohenries per foot, but the cap tradeoff is huge.. That is why I suspect that making the cable the same impedance as the load may be the best..it's the point where the inductive energy and capacitive energy stored in the cable are equal, and the sum is at a minima.
Peter:""Oh, and: Sound quality"
That is what we are trying to correlate the RCL with..of course...
Peter: ""The customer chooses based on their criteria. Isn't it called "market forces"?"",
Certainly. and in many cases, the market force is what the marketers decide we want, by various ad means...that is what the "snake oil" fighters (ok, weird designation I agree) rail against...the manipulation of the market via ad copy and engineering "white papers" that are nothing but gobblygook..
Unfortunately, there are very few sources out there for pure technical information, the ones who print the info typically have an agenda.
Cheers, John
PS. a pleasure Peter...I'll be back in a few weeks...don't burn the place down, will ya?.
