I made up a pair of interconnects. Sunday morning and was underwhelmed. I was surprised on how lifeless the sound was (used between DAC and preamp) which surprised me because of the silver tinned copper. I was expecting a very bright sound. After four or five hours things got better. After 24 hours it is really sounding very good. I will be looking to obtain at least 60 feet more to make a set of shot-gunned pair for my run between preamp and amps, replacing over twenty year old Mogami Neglex twinax.

With very low impedance line drivers, might not have to worry so much about C, but with plate follower tube output and such, this can get ugly quick!
With standard RG cables, the C is controlled and specified. With crazed "audiophile" creations....who knows?
I submit that there are a lot of mysterious, or at least non-understood, things going on with audio cables or, rather, cables in audio service, but you can't get around basic qualities such as capacitance.
I chopped you off a 60' length and will pop that in the mail when I can.
