Michael, have you measured the capacitance of this cable? It's useful to know the capacitance to the shield, as well as capacitance between the two conductors. The majority of boutique wire on the market is next to useless for longish cables because its capacitance is so high. Not saying that's the case here, but I don't use cable if I can't quantify this basic characteristic. Also, I've read in several places that teflon insulated wire must be silver plated in order to avoid reaction between the teflon and the wire. I've never seen teflon insulated wire that wasn't silver, and that goes back almost 50 years. I buy teflon hookup wire without even asking.
