Velocity of Propagation

Rather than "slowing down" the conductivity of metal wires, I think George Cardas is talking about his insight into a new cable geometry that affects how signal energy is propagated along the length of the conductive metal wires, as well as how the signal energy is propagated within the non-conductive dielectric, since like a capacitor, the dielectric of an audio cable acts as an energy storage reservoir, and the behavior of the dielectric greatly affects what comes out the load end of an audio cable.

My impression of what he is saying, is the storage and release behavior of his newest dielectric material(s) is paramount when designing a specific cable geometry that provides a more "time aligned" velocity of propagation between the dielectric involvement factor, and the electromagnetic fields of complicated, precision wire bundles, rather than just paying attention to that of skin effect, and the resonant behavior of litz-wire.
