RE: Basic IC Geometry Question




By "having the positive leg of different geometry than the return leg" mean an asymmetrical relationship based on different conductor materials, twist ratio, or gauge? A twisted pair benefits greatly via a perfectly symmetrical relationship of the two opposing conductors for a mirror image topology of the positive and return legs along the entire length of the cable, from end to end. However, there are hybrid designs that are considered favorable, but an unshielded cable like the V-Twist with perfect symmetry offers excellent performance with no downside when it comes to a predictably excellent, high-performance sonic signature with overall transparency vs. what might be expected from an experimental DIY build. While the gold plated brass Neutrik Profi rca connector might be an okay compromise for a more affordable DIY project, the V-Twist deserves a higher performance connector, IME.
