RE: Basic IC Geometry Question

Silver plated mil-spec, aerospace/avionics, and other wire/cable not designed for audio signal applications may look impressive, but are substandard for audiophile use. If you were to build short-length cables rather than up to 10 feet long, a simple hand-built twisted pair using VH Audio 21 AWG OCC copper hookup wire with AirLok insulation would be a far better option than the cables/wires shown. I have built outstanding short-length cables using that particular VH Audio wire, especially since the 21 AWG solid core wire with minimal-mass insulation is quite easy to *evenly twist* and *keep its shape* vs. other wires, IME. However, it would be a challenging effort to construct a precision twist using two 10 foot wires. For such a long length, unless a custom jig is used to help build a precision twist of such long-length wires, a pre-built audiophile cable is more advisable, IMO.
