And don't you ****in forget it!

I have never been interested in cables. I've always figured Radio Shack Gold
were good enough for me. However, a friend of mine recently did a quick
switch of XLO and Tara RSC Decade. One of these brands (which?) is an open
twisted pair construction, encapsulated in something that looks like Kapton.
The other is a conventional coaxial construction.

There was an obvious difference. The open-twisted pair wires were much
brighter than the coax.

I speculate this is due to both low capacitance, and reduced skin effect.

Unfortunately, these were very expensive cables. Do any reasonable cables
have similar characteristics?
