Thanks for the valuable information. Whatever I do, I think I will terminate with the newish KLE RCAs; probably the high end ones since the best ones are not all that much more than either of the other two. So after eliminating the coaxial design based on advice here, I was looking at some other twisted pairs that are substantially cheaper than VH-Audio's V-twist. This is what I am currently using that has the really high capacitance:

Other possibilities are this twisted pair of 24 AWG silver plated stranded teflon insulated wire:

This is a 20 AWG twisted pair insulated with PTFE and an outside jacket of PTFE

If the difference between stranded and solid wire is important, I could easily twist up something using this 24 AWG PTFE solid core wire

Finally, there is a nickel plated twisted pair "space station" wire that should sound out-of-this-world!

Any thoughts on these alternatives to the $15/foot stuff? These options are about 1/10th that cost.
Thanks in advance.
