RE: carbon fiber in teflon

The cable that Paco found has a resistance of 33 ohms per meter. That is not terribly high, and as I pointed out, has a small resistance compared to a typical line stage output impedance.

Anything with 33ohms resistance will get warm if you pass enough current through it. The number of Watts heating effect is easily found using ohm's law:

Power = Current * current * resistance
or
Power = (Voltage * Voltage) / Resistance

This cable is designed for mains voltage (eg 120V, 220V) to be applied over a length of 10meters or so.

Until someone tries this and reports back, estimates of sound quality are just guesses. My guess is that people who parade such guesses as hard fact should not be listened to.
