Hi folks,
Anyone have any experience with this wire manufacturer?
Thanks in advance for any input.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with the present invention there is provided a novel cable architecture for construction of audio interconnection, video, digital, or power cables. Multiple, parallel runs of multiconductor, shielded, twisted pair cable are used to construct balanced and unbalanced low-level interconnect cables, speaker cables, and power cords. Conductors from each cable run are separated and connected to other conductors from other runs of the cable to form composite signal and ground conductors. Shields of each cable run are selectively connected to one another and to appropriate pins or terminals of a terminating connector. An overall mother shield may, optionally, be added. Individual runs of cable are braided together. Cables constructed in accordance with the novel geometries and techniques of the invention sound better than any know cable of the prior art. When measured, the inventive cables exhibit a ratio of capacitance to inductance that is lower that any known audio cable of the prior art. The characteristic impedance of the inventive cables is also lower than other cables of the prior art.
The present invention, however, provides cables which move considerably closer to acoustic invisibility than any cable of the prior art.
- It is another object of the invention to provide an improved cable assembly wherein multiple, independent, parallel cable runs are used to conduct an electrical signal.
- It is a further object of the invention to provide an improved cable assembly wherein each independent parallel cable run is shielded.
- It is an additional object of the invention to provide an improved cable assembly wherein shields of individual cable runs are grounded at only one, or at both ends of the cable assembly. [Peter: We all recognize this as "directional" cables]
- It is yet another object of the invention to provide an improved cable assembly wherein shield of individual cables runs are selectively connected one to another at either one or both ends of the cable assembly.
- It is a still further object of the invention to provide an improved cable assembly in both balanced and unbalanced configurations.
- It is an additional object of the invention to provide an improved cable assembly useful for use in audio systems for component interconnect cables, speaker cables, and power cables.
- It is another object of the invention to provide an improved cable assembly which exhibits a very low characteristic impedance. [Peter: no data to support it]
- It is still further object of the invention to provide an improved cable assembly having a consistent transient response across varying source and load impedances. [Peter: no data to support it]
Of course there are some manufacturers who claim that you need a minimum cable length of so many feet/metres (at a price of course). I remember reading (here, I think)about one company who claimed you needed a ridiculous amount of cable at minimum.In the end, it's all about what we already know - get as short a cable as possible with the most optimized electrical characteristics (including noise rejection of various kinds) and you have a very well constructed conduit.
I meant analog interconnects and speaker cable.Bernard - do you mean analog cable? Or digital? ...
