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?

**I still use some of the cables from these guys:

when they were imported into Australia. They were very reasonably
priced and
very good performers. I've performed a large number of blind tests
and am
satisfied that they make a difference, compared to budget cables. In
some
instances, clients do not like that difference. I suggest the silver,
or
silver plated cables will suit your needs. I have no idea what their
cost is
in the US. My only reservation was the construction quality of the
soldering. This may or may not be an issue in 2005.

Blind tests that showed a difference between cables? Blasphemy!
