If so, you have a nice little earner on your hands - shame about
the 4
nF per metre capacitance though.

Transmission line, sunshine.

No capacitive loading - AN INFINITE LENGTH OF IT
LOOKS LIKE AN 8 OHM RESISTOR TO THE DRIVING SOURCE, DUMMY.


** Not if it ain't correctly terminated. The impedance of a hi-fi
speaker at 1 MHz is what ????

An unterminated length of co-ax looks like a pure capacitor.


A shorter length transforms the load according to the transmission line
equation.
Given that speaker leads are short compared to the electrical wavelength
corresponding
to their frequency - 15 km at 20 kHz - the transformation is absolutely
negligible and the source sees the load with no modification.


** Bizarre ham radio nonsense.

Narrow band RF transmission line theory cannot be applied to wide
band audio or video.

Every ham in the world thinks it can.


You obviously don't understand transmission lines at all.
