Nice work on the cables Jupiterboy.
Do you know of any information discussing the pros/cons between braiding and a more simple twisted pair, or a star quad twist where the two opposite wires are connected together to reduce inductance? I have seen the insides of several well-known cables, and advertisments for others, and quite a few seem to be twisted pairs, maybe with multiple insulated strands bundled together for each polarity. The only true braided speaker cables I have used are a double run pair of HGA SC-16 braided silver I am trying now, although I know Kimber is into it with their 4,8 & 12TC. I suspect the braiding would lower inductance by keeping + and - in close proximity, and I understand it is also supposed to reduce potential for RFI and EMI. Are there downsides to braiding compared to more conventional design configurations?
