RE: carbon fiber in teflon

Well yes, it's no good as a speaker wire. That was the point of the comparison..

With a passive linestage the output impedance will typically be a lot higher than an active linestage, so the CF resistance will be even more insignificant, so there's no reason to worry.

Gain loss is negligible in either case; (suggest learn some basic electronics..)

Let's assume some numbers that are the worst likely:

Output impedance : 50ohms
Input impedance : 10kohms

With a normal wire interconnect, a 1V signal from the line stage will produce 0.995025 volts at the input device (ie amp)

With the carbon fiber interconnect, the voltage will be 0.991768V

So the gain loss is roughly 0.028dB (compare to the roughly 1db-per-click on a typical volume control, that's 1/35th as much)

Van Den Hul The First : imho they sound like an old tube amp - lush midrange, tubby bass and rolled off top end. They do have a certain musicality though, but it's hard to get past the weaknesses.
